| bugeater | 291 days | April 16- Going to consider myself 99% healed. unlucky situation in my opinion. this affected my 2 half of racing season significantly. Also delayed and slowed my progression this winter in staying in some condition and getting back into shape. | details |
| Popper | 303 days | Focus on stretching and using all the right muscles. If knees hurt during a run, stop and shake out gluts. Suck up the pain that come the morning after. | details |
| iansmith | 350 days | Recovering from the fracture took much time. I was on crutches for about 8 weeks, limited walking for 4, then varying degrees of impaired activity for the remaining 9 months. The leg was sensitive from Injury+3 - Injury+9 months. The only way to recover from a fracture is rest, then to rebuild atrophied muscles with a diligent PT schedule. | details |
| juliadahl | 442 days | 15 månader tog det, men nu är det (iallafall vad det ser ut/känns) helt läkt. Mängder av sjukgymnast/läkar/röntgenbesök och en hel del depp. En lite halvkonstig resa där det började med överansträngda benhinnor, plötsligt blev benhinneinflammation, innan någon fick idéen stressfraktur, tills att det slutligen visade sig vara en krosskada (fraktur). Så kan det gå, det som inte dödar det härdar. | details |

| FE | 635 days | Cartilage damage discovered during keyhole surgery (not on scan), following 7 months of little progress. If you are not making progress, its worth getting a 2nd/3rd opinion. Physio 2/3 times a day, good advice and patience. Orienteering has speeded up recovery. | details |
