      Hi

      Similar story to the others. Even after 2.5 years still have loss of feeling and tightness – but no loss of functionality. Run regular 10 km runs and do  "mini Iron man" (cycling, swiming, running) events and right leg (operation) is no more tired than left leg. My times are now better than before operation! Additonally excecise does not make leg feel worse, or better, than not exercising – just the same.

      I think, once you are  ready, exercise is good to help leg get back to normal ASAP.

      For further encouragement I am still NED afetr 2.5 years with "surgery only" option (i.e No Interferon or other treatement.)

      Live Strong.
