Iliac crest and hip belts
Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 7:21 pm
I have an osprey aether 60 which I bought in ~2005 or maybe early 2006. It is a great pack, and I have used it for a bunch of snowcamping and mountaineering trips.
(mine is actually orange )
But after cervical fusion surgery I have two places ("donor sites") in my hip where they took bone out to graft into my neck. The front site in my iliac crest (I think this is what it's called) is quite literally shaped like a notch, and the hip belt of my beloved aether cuts into it somewhat painfully after a couple of days.
I've been just toughing it out for the last couple of years. I was sure this would go away after a while -- someone told me the bone would grow back, but that doesn't seem to be the happening, or at least not as fast as I would like It's not a huge deal unless the trip is longer than a weekend. Anybody else have this problem ?
