In this instalment of Lucy's recovery journey, we take a look at what she has been up to during her rest period, and also the tools she has been using to speed up her bone healing as much as possible
A huge thank you to Bioventus for gifting the Exogen Ultrasound Bone Healing System which was used in this video!

My young daughter (12) is just starting to train for her first triathlon…. And would love some Team Charles Barkley kit - anything to add a bit of glam and motivation to her training! Wishing you a speedy recovery Lucy

That is awesome! My daughter is 12 and has done a few kids' tris. She loves it. She tells me that she will do an Ironman at age 18 and says to me, "I'll wait for you at the finish." 🤣

I feel for you. I got hit by a car while crossing on a bike path 3 weeks ago and ad to undergo surgery for a tibial fracture. I am hating life. Keep your spirits up and keep moving forward. We will eventually heal. Enjoy the rest, at least that's what I'm being told 🙂

In January of last year, I was diagnosed with a pretty bad femoral neck stress fracture. As a long time exclusive runner, I was really bummed out. While it sucks that it happened, it’s what got me interested in triathlons. I began training on the bike and now I’m signed up for an Ironman this fall. While it sucks that I got hurt, not only was I able to recover and run the Boston Marathon later that year thanks to all the cross training, but I discovered a love for a new sport that I never would have had I not been hurt in the first place

Yes,medicine isn’t done bye analogy,so saying this supplement worded for me,isn’t much of a reference ,having said that,allow me to contribute myself,I’ve been injured for two years,broken femur, ruptured Achilles’ tendon,two years of waiting. Bought a new type of bike,gravel,got into Zwifting ,three months of pretty mediocre stat’s. But the joy, the muscle memory,of actually having power,of pressing and having a result is overwhelming. I confess,I’m 71 yrs,with 50 yrs of bicycling,I simply love the road,the daily little stories. So your going have a great time,be patient…lovphp.

You inspired me to get into the sport in the first place and I thought it was refreshing to hear you say you also have days were you feel tired and question whether you should train.

I'm in sport over 25 yars and can say with confidence the fracture heals much faster and better when you put pressure on fructure bone during recovery. The longer you don't use your leg, the longer it takes to recover. The crutches should only be used for a few days in the beginning and definitely not all the time. Love your videos)

@vpsavpsa9441 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Lucy! Nice to see your new video again. I've also used a muscle electrostimulator and it helped the recovery well, with a bit of gymnastics exercise and rest and time and everything will be fine. You're young, and you're very much alive, and you're recovering faster. Wish you a lot of strength and quick improvement, lots of wins still ahead of you waiting!!! I'm still waiting for new videos and news of you, knowing you have a lot of fans!❤

Great to see that your recovery is going well. I suffered a stress fracture to my tibia the week after your injury. My first injury of this type and although I’m far from an elite athlete I can relate to just how disappointing it is. I’m absolutely gutted and have had to withdraw from numerous events including Leeds Triathlon. My goal is to be fit for Weymouth Ironman 70.3 in Sept. Anyway, thank you for the videos. I feel like I’m on a similar journey with you and your videos are really helping to keep me positive as I too am on crutches unable to do anything right now. Hope you get to read this and take a positive for yourself knowing the positive impact you are having on others who are also dealing with a similar personal challenge right now. I really look forward to the videos being released so please keep them coming! Wishing you all the best with your continued recovery.

@timobrien256 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting with a stress fracture of the hip they want you on crutches. I had a full hip replacement and the surgeon wanted me not using crutches and back putting full weight on my hip right away. Thanks for the update!

@jimjamthebananaman1 2 жыл бұрын

It depends on the size of the fracture but a fracture is basically bone separated from bone. When it heals it needs to be immobilised so the fracture can form a ‘bridge’ to allow it to heal. If you put weight through a fracture before the ‘bridge’ has been made then the ‘bridge’ doesn’t heal properly, and the ‘bridge becomes a bit wonky. Usually after about 6 weeks the fracture has healed enough to then put weight through it which ironically actually increases the healing time of the bone. Repetitive stress through the fracture after 6 weeks allows the bone to continuously rebuild itself until the point it’s ‘rock solid’ and as good as new again. With a hip replacement if you don’t move immediately after surgery then the soft tissue which is the main component to the healing process in hip surgery will develop scarring and you will be incredibly stiff and painful. In your circumstance there isn’t any surgical fractures hence the full weight bearing immediately post surgery 🙂 Sorry for the long reply but I’m a massive orthopaedic geek
