Ok, let me think...i am 16 months post-op now for scope on my right hip to repair labral tear, clean up loose debris, and bone shaving for cam & pincer impingement...and synovectomy. Whew. And you know, it's all good. It really is just fine, almost like a fading memory now. But I made a commitment to keep up this blog and I plan to do just that. I know, trust me...I KNOW some of you are suffering. I know some of you are afraid or maybe even struggling with the aftermath of an unsuccessful surgery. My thoughts are with you and I am so glad that many of you follow this blog and leave all of these incredible comments and have even found "hip buddies" through this and other hip fai related blogs and sites.
As for reporting the state of my right post-op hip...rarely i feel some fluid swelling and usually at some point my hip will pop and that goes away. Honestly, that's about it. I'm spinning, running, and taking pilates, zumba and the regular gym activities with no trouble. But I do handle with care...i think, "is it worth it" pretty often and will sometimes choose not to do something that could cause me to reinjure my hip.
Hope the update finds you well and is helpful in some way...I do think of posting but I have been super crazy this year with a relocation and then starting a new business...so fun but wow, it's like a racehorse and I'm just holding on:) I've made this nutty commitment to finish a painting everyday for 365 days!! Follow the link below to see how it unfolds...
oh, and i want everyone to know that I am soooo appreciative of your comments...i know they are helpful and assuring to others on here and that was my goal in starting this blog. I wish I could keep up and follow-up to each comment, but I am a working from home stay at home mom of two small children and i just don't have the time in my day to do it!! But I do care a lot and I am cheering you all on:)
happy healing,
Vanessa

glad to hear you are doing so well venessa congrats on the new business
Hi Vanessa,
I just took an hour or so and read through your blog. It looks like I'm facing a very similar situation. I'm needing to repair a tear in my labrum and some bone shaving for cam and pincer on my left hip. I also have some bone spurs and arthritus. I'm a 31 yr old male, I still play basketball 3x a week. I'm in some pain but it's not awful. I'm still trying to decide on when to do the surgery. Anyways, thanks again!
