Had a meniscus tear in my knee , it'll not heal without an op due to limited blood supply so my surgeon said. Had 2 weeks off and 2 weeks ( although it should have been longer ) on light duties. Not sure if they'll offer you IHR on that and the hip as they are repairable.

Many thanks for that,how did you do your knee?what would you class as light duties?be interesting to see what my boss does,he hates anything effecting his budget,or lapsing or unable to loan out!,
