Hello Anka

Thank you for your reply. I haven't been given any exercises so far unfortunately. After I had the MRI scan, I was told I would have to book in for a session to recommend physiotherapy, however my booked sessions were cancelled by the physio, so as yet I have not been given any exercises.

Would the hip control exercises that you suggest help with the hip/back problems which I'm also experiencing?

In addition, would exercises on a rowing machine or bike machine be a problem? I thought these might be okay, since there isn't too much pressure on the ankles with these exercises. I just need some cardio which I can do.

Many thanks again
Dan
