[Blog] How a Kitesurfing Accident Changed My Life

[Fabian]

Timeline

• 457 - 486 Days Days after the accident
• 355 - 384 Days after the surgery
• 110 - 139 Days after removal surgery
• 019 - 020 Days of EOP (finished)
• 004 - 005 Days of PEMF therapy (finished)
• 038 - 039 Days of Physiotherapy (finished)

Overall situation

• It would be a lie to say I have no issues with my leg anymore, but overall this month was quite good. I even started running again (not fast — about 6:30 min per km) for distances between 3–5 km.
  
  
• I’ve noticed that new movements usually cause pain for a few days until my body gets used to them. That’s why I began mixing different types of sports — biking, running, rowing, elliptical, and various exercises.
  
  
• The biggest change was starting CrossFit. It’s definitely a challenge, and I have to be careful not to push too hard. That’s why I’m sticking to light weights for now.
  
  
• The pain level was 0-3 out of 10.
