Hi Tiha
Thanks for your message. The issue is that scar tissue in the locking
stitches in the groin has tightened and pulls when I ride. The pulling is
worse when I am in a recumbent position than when I am riding upright, and
my doctors reckon that after 18 months its probably as good as it is going
to get. It's still better than before I had the operation, but they don't
think they can justify any more surgical procedure. I have tried all sorts
of physiotherapy and regular Pilates classes, but it just isn't easing.
Perhaps in a couple of years I may get back to it, but for now I'll make do
with an upright.
Cheers
Mark
