Riding with a Hernia
I got a 20" Torker LX for Christmas. I still require a wall/fence/bridge to hold onto to go very far, so I have been learning to ride on days it is not too snowy on the bridge by my house. I've had only one particularly bad spill that left me in serious groin pain for 10+ minutes, but other than that I've manage to land on my feet. I had my yearly checkup today and my doctor says I have a hernia. He seemed totally unconcerned about unicycling and was sure that no amount of racking myself with my unicycle or falling off would cause this or make it significantly worse. However, he is not a unicyclist and I thought maybe someone here may know a bit more about hernias and unicycles. Does anyone think I should definitely avoid riding my unicycle until after my surgery? I see a 4 year old thread where experienced unicyclers said it would be 5 weeks or so after my surgery before they could/should ride again... but they are experienced unicyclers, maybe learning to ride is more likely to cause injury and I should wait longer? I'm bummed about being injured and probably not learning to ride my unicycle for a while, but I guess January is a better time to be stuck inside than May or June! Any advice is appreciated!
