Thanks for the reply Ali like your sound advise ,I think static bike is the best option as my husband is reluctant for me to get back on my bike due to wrist still being stiff and painful worried I might do more damage , it is very difficult to know if the hip is down to me sitting at a desk all day or if it is still to do with the operation.

Wow! your getting back into running by entering a marathon. That's very positive. I don't really have enough experience to advise you on the running, except to say the obvious 'listen to your body'. On the issue of pain around the graft site i think a judicious use of pain killers sounds appropriate here. Just enough so that you are easing off tenderness but not masking any sharp pain. Obviously any big increase in pain or inflammation around the site would be an indication to ease off the running. Cross-training on a static bike sounds like a really good idea. All the best.

I broke my wrist last June 2012 and also ended up with a blood clot in my leg,so have done no running for over a year now ,I have been given the all clear to start running again .

Hip is still a tender ,not sure how I should start my running again I ran a couple of marathons and halfs before the accident ,and I am entered for the Brigthon Marathon in 2014.could do with some adivce Should I class myself as a beginner again or just see how far I can run and include stationery cycling to help hip
