Truly amazing, shorttrack! So we are sufferin' from the same condition: Bursitis trochanterica. It is often seen in patients with hip arthrosis, I have learned. I will get the cortisone treatment shortly and then see how it develops. Personally, I claim my condition on having used a Johnson Rower in...

I might sit in the same boat, so I cannot come up with an answer but rather add another aspect to the question: I also have some arthrosis in the hip joints (too much sport all my life, I guess). I got back on the erg this spring and have trained almost daily until october, putting quite some strain...

Are old, used ergs faster?

Ik denk dit is een goede kans niet alleen mee te lezen maar me ook even voor te stellen.
