Hi there
Thanks for your reply.
I am only back from Tenerife.
Basically when I was younger I was under the care of a doctor at Kilkenny Orthopedic hospital. In those days the recommended treatment was to relieve pressure in around the hip joint and femoral head. As such I was put in traction (Traction is the use of a pulling force to treat muscle and skeleton disorders)
However normally the procedure dictates that you should be left laying in a flat position - I was not, I was left sitting upright for 3 1/2 weeks and once it was removed I was left with my leg in a way that meant once I got out of bed I could hold my knee up ( in other words I could not put my foot to the ground).
As far as I know I was then referred to Crumlin hospital for that issue for which I believe the tenotomy was done. I am currently writing to Crumlin to get access to my medical history to see exactly what treatment I had done while attending Crumlin Hospital.
It scares me a bit that it might be cause for an immediate disqualification but I will just have to do it and hope for the very best. If it is not to be then it is not to be.
Thanks for time
regards
John
