In 2011 (after reaching my goal of L6) I started suffering with back problems a couple of days after refereeing. GP sent me for Xray which showed I had advanced osteo arthritis in my right hip. GP told me to stop running on treadmill, roads and eventually in 2014 told me to stop refereeing which I found
Following over 55 MOT I listened to nurse and lost 10 kg. Unfortunately, problems didn't improve so I asked to be referred to specialist. He agreed best solution was hip replacement to restore my quality of life.
I had MIS (minimal intrusive surgery) in March 2017 and was back in the gym after 5 weeks. My next target is January 2018 when I plan to start refereeing again at my local club again. I can't wait!
