Dani Pedrosa won't need further surgery

Dani Pedrosa will not have to undergo further shoulder surgery.
The 25-year-old Spanish rider had complained of loss of sensation in his left arm and shoulder after returning from his collarbone surgery and competing in the final two races of the 2010 season.

After two back-to-back races and a two day test session, Pedrosa underwent further medical tests at the Dexeus University Institute Hospital in Barcelona where Dr.

Xavier Mir found that Pedrosa was suffering from inflamed and bruised nerves, which doesn’t require surgery, and treatment is four weeks of rest, physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory drugs.

“I’ve been suffering a lot since Japan and I knew something was wrong with my arm because after the surgery I didn’t get better.
This lack of strength was very strange and annoying! I was worried because after Estoril we checked the collarbone again and it looked like there was nothing wrong with the plate, but we had no more time between races to check more deeply the reasons for my lack of strength,” said Pedrosa.
“I have had other injuries and surgery in the past and I know that you need some time to recover and get fit again, but this time it was taking too long.

Now everything is clear and it’s good to know that the collarbone is OK and I don’t need any more surgery that would take a long time to heal.
I hope that within these four weeks the inflammation passes gradually and that I will be able to start rehabilitation and training in the middle of December.
We had a good test in Valencia after the final race and I want to start the winter tests in February in Malaysia in a good shape in order to be ready for next year’s championship.
