Hello,
I was planning on doing the PMAX end of May but received news the PMAX will be delayed until July. I start a new job the first week of september, mostly computer work. I was curious what the thoughts were on waiting for the weight bearing pmax? pros - weight bearing, good dr, much better/easier recovery, dr said likely only need cane by starting job if that. Cons - delay will now eat into my job time and will be on crutches for a while into job. Do 2.2 - cons- no weight bearing and much longer recovery, will still be on crutches during job. He also offered fitbone? - not much info on it, seems not weight bearing as well.
Id welcome any thoughts?
