just keep strength training. you will get there. strength training resolves pain.
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience! I’m 3 1/2 weeks post op right hip arthroscopy with femoroplasty (cam type impingement) and labral repair. My surgeon said most of the time, patients have the same issue on the other side, so he’s going to xray my left hip at my follow up in a couple weeks. I’m sure I have the impingement there, because last night when I was doing standing lateral leg lifts, my right side had more range of motion than left. Thinking back to group fitness classes and how I never could lift my legs very far doing those or fire hydrants makes impingement on both sides make perfect sense. SO… I really appreciate hearing your experiences. I especially appreciated you mentioning the tears and how recovery is not linear. The past few weeks have definitely been a roller coaster!
Thank you so much for your videos! I was not prepared at all until I watched your video. My surgeries a bit different. I have a gluteus medius tear partial tear on the right side but two weeks ago I fell in the backyard and rolled my left ankle and I’ve been in a boot and when I fell, I fell on my right hip so I’m a mess! Did you ever use one of those ice pack things that wraps around your hip? Or do I even need ice? I made a list of everything you said I’m going to need. And I think the terror probably is a bit worse since I fell. Your channel has been very helpful. ❤
Do you do pilates? I just had the surgery and I teach pilates, so I'm hoping that helps.
Is there anyway I can email you Im having similar issues and can use some advice and your thoughts
That pain you're getting in your quads after 2 years... did you ever tried massaging the scar tissue of the incision and the tender muscles around it.... if not that could cause tightness in your quad muscles.
I haven't had my surgery yet, but I'm considering it. Overall, how is it going after your surgery? Do your back issues had anything to do with FAI? How is it going since then? Because I'm suffering a lot with lower back and lateral torso pain.
thank you for sharing! I would like to ask what medication you took to avoid re-growth of the bone?
Hi Holly... I don't know if you'll see this, but I'm contemplating hip surgery after my baby is born. I had some back issues 2 years ago and bought a teeter inversion table, have you ever tried one of those? I am sure it helped heal my herniated disc as well as relieve some of my hip pain. I cannot use it right now due to being pregnant, but boy I sure want to. I no longer have much back pain. I still have hip issues though. The teeter got me walking again though! Well I hope things are going well for you. Thanks for these videos I will return to them in a few months.
I need this surgery soon for my right hip. Thanks! I subscribed ❤
I think a lot of people don't have easy surgeries & recovery. But people don't want to hear it & instead spread the rumors of the ones that have it easier like that's the norm. Seeing g accepting reality like this is helpful preparation.
Thought of riding a bike? That's insanity.
My right hip has been snapping cracking and popping for just over 10yrs now and has gotten so much worse, bow my left is doing the same. I have been fighting to get a diagnosis for all these years and FINALLY was dx with a torn riggt hip labrum and am meeting a surgeon in 2wks and so happy to he at this point. The pain in my hips are unbearable at times. When my hip pops it feels like the whole hip shofts out of place and i drop. Now, i know its not actually moving out of place, but i cant take it anymore. So when i came across your videos about this i was happy to see a before & after, basically. I know the surgery isnt going to fix me 100%, i know its going to suck, but i also have osteoarthritis in my hips, so idk if it will be this surgery or a replacment surgery because im so damaged. Thank you for being honest about the recovery process, the cons of the surgery, everything. I appreciate it because youve givencmore insight than what google can provide
Im going to be having this done as well. Waiting to meet with my surgeon in september. Well, im expecting this tocbe done but is possible id have a hip replacement
Hi, could you show your scars, how they look like nowadays? I'm very scared of the hip arthroskopy
Getting mine on September 27th. I am very grateful that I found your videos. I just started watching fingers crossed you did well!
I have cam impingement in both hips. Had the left hip done first. I lost strength and balance in glute. Quadratus leburm lkwer back muscle use to bother me. Im 6 weeks post op
How are you now?
@dudeiplayhockey my story is so long. But i give all the glory to God first. Im able to walk and go up steps. I do feel like my arthritis is worse. If you have no arthritis i think the surgery would be a breeze. I also went off my adhd medication and had no energy to do PT but i did. I have to work on that glute strength everyday. But i dont dobtoo much. Im 7 months and there where some set back. But i think it was muscles waking up. My rigjt hip has been okay. But i haven't played the sports i currently love. Pickleball tennis. Actually feel depressed over this but maybe in a dew years i can return and play at a lower level. Ive been so hubbled. Next surgery i will get epidural and sedation no anesthesia....
I mostly feel my arthritis when i do the butterfly stretch...deep runners lunge...im still trying to recover from going off ritalin...life has been so hard.
Thank you for sharing. I think the hardest part for me in the beginning was not being able to run at all or workout without being in pain. I was medically discharged from the military last Friday. Overall, for me, I’m in more pain now than before my surgery in 2021. I did not have lower back or leg pains before this and now some days even walking around is very painful…..
Week 3 after the surgery, CAM , labrum + psoas tendon 🎉🎉🎉total party
Thank you for sharing!!
I had my hip repair for my back due to a work related injury. Now I’m wondering if I’ll be able to return to the job I love the most. Made me good $$$
Last August I had my right hip done and right now I am 3 weeks post left hip surgery. Thank you for this video!
It's great to hear other people's experiences, and I wish I'd done more research pre-surgery as I may have decided against it, despite 12 months of conservative treatments, physio and PT not working. I'm 18 months post hip arthroscopy with labral repair and reduction of the femoral head, and still not better. In some ways it's improved, but in others, not at all. I'll probably need a replacement at some stage, but super worried about that because the recovery from this has been horrendous and it's apparently far less invasive than the arthroscopic repair. I can't run at all - not even 10 meters without pain. I do work out, and can use the cross trainer, stepper and spin bike at least, but pain is constant day in, day out. The underlying cause for me is EDS though, so each person's situation is unique.
Thanks for sharing this. I had my hip arthroscopy done in DEC 2021 and I completely regret having it done. My pain levels are worse now than it was before the surgery. Before my surgery i didn’t have any problems walking up and down stairs. And also, I had no lower back pain before. But now, it’s difficult to go up and down stairs. And sometimes very difficult to walk around.
I was suffering from a pain in my right hip for more than 10 years the general physicians, rheumatologists,orthopadicians didn't know why I had this pain.. Just 2 days.back. I was diagnosed with Femoral acetabular impingement,with a labral tear. I'm waiting for a call from the ortho surgeon
I am three weeks post right hip repair. My number one question after following all of your videos is so you recommend me getting off the crutches sooner than later? I feel like I can walk with moderate pain but my PT said no…advice?
How is your diet?
Nice I'll be doing the same thing but with a toddler and newborn around the house. Should be fun. FML
Hi ! Where are you from?
Where you did your surgery?
I am at 5 weeks post-op right now and I feel exactly the same. For the first few weeks it was fine, bit now that I am cleared for being able to put more weight on my leg, the hip is flaring up. Some days not so bad, some days a little worse. I am also a side sleeper and I am fighting all night to get an okay sleeping postion lol, not too comfy in anything I try. It is so frustrating bot knowing are you on the right path of recovery since the process it very individual. For anyone struggling, I am also really mentally drained, scared and you're not alone. Keep going!
Jeez, you really don't have any idea what real problems are. Here's me..... When I was 17 years old I sustained a lateral compression pelvic ring fracture as a passenger in a motor vehicle accident. I was sitting in the front passenger seat of an old Volkswagen Beetle which hydroplaned into oncoming traffic and was hit T-bone style by 2 cars on my right side. I fractured the right superior pubic ramus and right inferior pubic ramus and also likely fractured somewhere on the right side of the sacrum. The orthopedic doctor I saw at the time was not a pelvic specialist. The type of injury I sustained was described in the notes at the time as a "bucket handle” fracture. I think this might have been incorrect, as I believe a “bucket handle” (Tile 'B3 Contralateral Lateral Compression') requires the posterior fracture to be on the opposite side of the pelvis from the anterior fractures. In the early x-ray and CT reports I have, no sacral fracture was mentioned being seen, but an assumption was written in the notes that I had fractured the right side of my sacrum. Unfortunately, I don’t have those early film images as they were disposed of by the doctor's office a few years later. So as of yet, I don't know for sure where (or if) I broke the sacrum. The earliest images I have were taken nearly 2 years after the accident (CT and x-ray - both on film), and sacral fractures seem very difficult to see once healed, especially without the ability to enlarge the images. If I did fracture the sacrum, I believe the fracture was probably on the right side; ipsilateral to the rami fractures (Young & Burgess ‘Lateral Compression Type 1’ or Tile 'B2 Ipsilateral Lateral Compression'). The pelvis healed without surgery or fixation, and it healed with deformity/displacement. The right hemipelvis is in internal rotation, distorting the shape of the pelvic ring. The rami fractures healed with malunion from the internal rotation, as seen by the apparent narrowness of the right obturator foramen in AP images. The right hemipelvis is also in extension. The extension (anterior rotation) of the right hemipelvis is seen by the right PSIS being 8mm higher than the left PSIS, while the right ASIS is lower than the left ASIS. In other words, everything of the posterior is higher on the right hemipelvis than on the left, and everything anterior is lower on the right hemipelvis than on the left. This is when the hips are perfectly level. This is marked in the standing x-ray attached. Also, the iliac crest and the ischial tuberosity are both 8mm higher on the right side than the on the left - when the hips are perfectly level (I have numerous x-rays showing this, including the marked standing x-ray attached). The internal rotation and extension of the right hemipelvis and the ilium height difference causes my sacrum to be on an oblique axis which causes scoliosis and rotation of my lumbar spine (the scoliosis straightens above L2). It also seems maybe there was some damage to the pubic symphysis, as the right and left pubic bones appear somewhat misaligned (this is not a concern to me). Because I'm not a surgeon, perhaps my terminology is different from how you would describe these things, but hopefully you understand what I mean by my description. I can explain what I mean clearly in person. Likewise, in person I can explain and show the areas and nature of discomfort and pain which I constantly experience from both the internal rotation and anterior rotation (extension) of the right side of my pelvis. I realize this degree of deformity may seem mild compared to acute fractures seen through the ER, however I promise this degree of deformity is enough to cause constant discomfort through life, especially for an active person. The symptoms which are constant whether standing, sitting, lying down, walking, swimming (which I do every day), riding a bicycle (which I do 3-4 times a week) -any time at all- is feeling my pubic bone constantly rubbing into my right leg/groin as my right leg is more under the center of my body due to the internal rotation and compression of my right hemipelvis, also constantly feeling my right ilium pushing into my abdominals due to the internal rotation, (some femoral nerve aggravation from this also - *not from my spine, I have good spacing throughout my lumbar spine). As you can see in the narrowness of space within the ring on the right side compared to the left in the AP CT image attached here (AP ‘centered'), perhaps you can imagine these symptoms. Also, discomfort in the right side of my lower back, caused by the right hemipelvis anterior rotation (extension) and ilium height difference, is constant. As is discomfort in my pelvic floor due to the ischial tuberosity being higher on the right side than the left. Each of these symptoms, and others, I can explain in person. Although the accident happened years ago, it has been very difficult ever since. Over the years I have exhausted every imaginable modality of physical therapy, deep tissue therapies, manipulation techniques etc, as well as decades of doing yoga and Pilates daily. Although these things have helped, as long as my pelvis is structurally deformed/displaced as it is, keeping the various symptoms in check is constant wack-a-mole. I do a comprehensive routine of stretches and mobilization exercises every day diligently, as well as various stretches throughout the day as needed (pretty constantly). I keep my musculature and joints healthy. Upon appearance I seem healthy and otherwise I am very healthy. I am good at not showing it, but the pelvic deformity causes discomfort that is constant. In 2010, while living in California, I contacted Dr. Joel Matta at his old clinic in Los Angeles, and I met with Dr. Nicholas Mast in San Francisco as well as Dr. Michael Bellino at Stanford. They each recognized the deformity and told me I would need a pelvic reconstruction surgery in order to correct this. Although the discomfort was constant then, as it is now, I had just finished surgically lengthening my left femur to correct a structural leg length discrepancy, and so at the time I was overwhelmed and not ready then to go through with surgery of my pelvis. After years of discomfort, and with much consideration, I am now ready. I have decided to seek a pelvis specialist to see about having my pelvis broken and realigned. I am looking for someone who is experienced and talented with pelvic reconstruction surgeries and who is willing to give me the time to answer some questions I have. I was referred to you by Dr. Stephen Sims' nurse. I was told you are personable and caring, as well as very intelligent and detail oriented. I am very much interested in meeting with you to discuss my situation and to ask you some questions. I sent this attached standing 51" AP bilateral hip to ankle x-ray (which I marked), so that you can see my legs from hip to ankle are exactly even. My left tibia is 8mm shorter than the right, but my left femur is 8mm longer than the right. I used to have a structural leg length discrepancy in both my femur and tibia totaling 2.3 cm, which I had surgically corrected with a femoral lengthening (of 2.3 cm) done by Dr. Dror Paley. My point in sending this image is just to show that I do not have a leg length discrepancy at all, and in this image you can see my hips are perfectly level - just as a 'baseline' reference when looking at the pelvis deformity/displacement described above. The degree of deformity I have might seem mild, especially upon a quick glance. Upon a closer look, and with measurements, the deformity is more revealed. For example, my whole pelvis is always rotated to the right to compensate for the internal rotation of the right hemipelvis. This brings my symphysis to the right of midline (as you can see in the attached standing x-ray). If the symphysis is centered in an image then the internal rotation of the right innominate bone is much more noticeable. I recently had a CT of my pelvis, and in the CT my symphysis is to the right of midline as it always is when lying supine, just as it is when standing. I attached this original AP image here to show this. I also attached an image taken from the CT 3D rendering which is rotated a bit so that my symphysis is more centered with the coccyx (like a normal AP), to show the right hemipelvis internal rotation more clearly. Also attached is a PA image and an image from underneath showing more clearly the inferior ramus malunion. Again, I realize this degree of asymmetry isn’t much compared to what is seen in acute broken pelvises in a trauma setting, but it is enough to cause me constant discomfort, and is difficult to live with, and I very much want to see about having it surgically corrected. I am aware that both superior and inferior pubic rami would need to be broken and fixation applied once realigned, and perhaps the sacrum would need to be broken as well. I would be prepared for this. I have a high pain tolerance, and will gladly endure the short term pain for the long term results of having my pelvis structurally symmetrical. As for recovery, my bones heal exceptionally fast. And, of course, I would do all physical therapy with zeal.
I’ve had 3 surgeries on my right shoulder. The last one a reverse total replacement. This can’t be as bad as that! Except not being able to put pressure on my leg. It’s a real complication
Me I can’t still walk I’m on six weeks my knee stiff cause my Doctor doesn’t want me to use Cpm machine. I’m still using crutches can’t dress by myself.
I am getting this surgery in June complete labrum tear in my right hip
I have a doodle also!
I’m having my labrum repaired next week. I’m super nervous! Glad you’re doing good! 🤗
Hi. You are very positive and motivating. Thanks for preparing me mentally. I have one question : How would you sit in car for first 4 weeks to go to PT
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Curious at the time of your surgery did your doctor give you the option to have PRP and or stem cell therapy?
Id like to try this. Cost?
around $800 (not covered by insurance) 😭
Quads being sore and if your side of your hamstrings are hurting and sharp pains could be IT Band syndrome starting.
I'm 44...had both knees and left hip already replaced. My right hip is heading down to your path of surgery....would you recommend just a replacement if able considering the chronic issues I have and your experience? Thanks and happy healing.
Hey Matt what did you end up deciding and how are you now?
Thanks for making this video. My surgery is coming up Jan.24,2023.
Do you think it’s reasonable to return to a remote job after about 10days? I’m on a computer the whole work day
Sounds like your lateral femoral cutaneous nerves.
Check out Dr. Tim Tollestrup. He is a chronic pain focused peripheral nerve surgeons. He may be able to help you with your residual pain. Having hip surgery can put you at high risk for peripheral nerve damage. I learned the hard way that the majority of medical professionals do not understand peripheral nerves or what to do with them when they cause pain. He helped me tremendously.
Hey Holly, I am watching this 3 weeks and two days Post op, super frustrated that I am not off the crutches and still so sore. But seeing and healing your Story really made me more hopeful and perhaps a bit more Patient.
Hey this would make you 5 week out? I’m also 5 weeks out and down to one crutch what about yourself? I have tried to walk without the crutch but I have a limp and get tired and sore quickly. How has your recovery been? Still on the crutches?
Do you wear hips brace. I got surgery to fix my labrum same as yours they put 5 anchors and the shave my pincer and cam lesion. It’s been a week but my hips down to my knee still swollen and weak I can’t lift up my leg yet.
Have you tried trigger point injections manipulative massage chiropractic adjustments custom orthotics? From what I understand anytime you have a hip manipulated. It’s not going to match the other side perfectly and everything kind of starts with your feet.. i’ve also noticed certain foods make my joints hurt like tomato anything. Catch-up. Actual plain tomato. And everything in between. One tomato will make my joints pop and hurt for a week. And some people like pasta pizza red sauce well I try to avoid it. and it’s impossible to avoid wheat barley and rye, but there are studies that show avoiding them is likely to reduce inflammation in your spinal cord. I need a magic pill that allows me to eat a bland fuel diet, and forget that food tastes good.
Yes, having somebody after any surgery would be definitely recommended. However, it is a huge amount of stress to the patient and the caregiver. And after a while, I think the caregiver gets tired of it… I don’t know I don’t have anybody to take care of me after I had hip surgery but then again I haven’t had anybody to take care of me after really any of them so hopefully I can do it by myself. The doctor seems to think that I should be able to, add enough anyway thanks for your video. I’m glad you’re doing well. Hopefully it’s no longer a problem. One thing I’ve learned after many surgeries would be the physical therapy never really ends. He pretty much have to do it for the rest of your life. But that’s OK. It’s just a medically prescribed workout program ha ha. As long as you can get it all done within an hour every single day I suppose it’s not that big of a deal. Take care.
Awesome sounds like a piece of cake. I’ve had several surgeries, so this is good news for me. I can’t say that I enjoy it but if it’s necessary, it is what it is from what I understand the knee surgery is one of the more annoying ones. the shoulder definitely sucked lots of physical therapy every single day for 14 months
How many days did you need constant care?
Thanks for posting this. I've had the pain for the last two years and 8 months ago it started getting progressively worse so I made all the appointments had my MRI arthrogram last Friday follow up appointment with ortho this coming Thursday pretty sure I'm going to have to have surgery because I do have a labral tear in the front and it's ridiculously painful. And I already been doing the conservative methods like ibuprofen, Tylenol, PT, ice, resting etc. I had a torn labrum in my shoulder and surgery for that and the pain was excruciating after my nerve block were off so I'm kind of nervous that if I have to have surgery on my hip it'll be the same horrible pain. 🥺
