Fixing the Limp

Dear Sports Rehabilitators, Fitness Trainers, Muscle Experts, Doctors and scarily intelligent sheep dogs,

I broke my femur 3 years ago. I was being a knob on a skateboard. The surgeon put, what looks like, a shelving bracket in my leg which fixed it.

The fracture feels fine but my thigh muscle feels rubbish, almost like all of the muscle is bunched up at the front. I walk with a limp but not a cool one like a man who manages prostitutes. I can't run or hop. I used to like hopping.

I've stretched it a lot, I've focused on it in the gymnasium. I've had a couple of deep tissue massages. No change.

Should I accept this is as good as it gets or are there other things I can do?

I can't say I'd be disappointed if I couldn't run again, I hate running but it is handy sometimes, like when you're being chased by an angry cat or if I'm late for an appointment at the GUM clinic.

Thank you in advance.

Yours Sincerely,

MorgyFace
