Sam,
I took Cymbalta for 3 months pre-op and it does help some with the pain. For me, it gave me a bit more energy to push through. I did go off of it though right after surgery. I believe the reason they work is because of they relieve nerve pain and there is a good bit of nerve pain going on with FAI ( i think in my un-expert opinion).

Something else about the pain of FAI before surgery that I noticed was that when they put me on Zoloft it helped handle the pain. I don't know why, and I don't know if perhaps you'll find a link between serotonin levels and PMS and FAI pain...?

I made the choice and got off the Zoloft and onto Lortab for the pain simply because of the little long term research on the SSRI

Sally,
Talk to your orthopaedic surgeon who understands FAI first, but if it is decided you need surgery, based on my personal experience I would say definately before second child!! For so many reasons, but my fai related pain was much worse during second pregancy. If it does get bad, while pregnant there is nothing you can do. No pain meds, no x-rays or MRI, etc. And then recovering

I definately have hip impingement and didn't notice it until I was pregnant. It's DEFINATELY worse when I am pms'ing--a LOT worse. However, do I definately need surgery or can I ride it out as long as possible? I am certain I will have to have surgery but was thinking maybe after I have my second child (no plans for that for a year but with all the shifting during pregnancy maybe I

Vanessa yes pmt yes without a doubt, fall in Oestrogen can make us more sensitive to pain, I did soem research a while back. Some research out of I think Sweden.

Thanks for your thoughts. I called the doc today and they told me to get over it so surgery is on. Yikes!
I have had surgery on both shoulders before and so I *sorta* know what to expect...a weight bearing joint is much scarier.

Wish you well,

M,
You might consider calling your nurse and talking to him/her about it. I'd say it depends on how modest you are. After two babies, I'm not, so I wouldn't care...but you are a lot more exposed than most people realize. You won't be wearing underwear and they put you up on this kind of pelvic prop. I think it's pretty revealing. I had bruises around my "

Oh, and I don't mean to be anon. Hopefully I can remember my login. My other computer crashed so I have had to start from scratch.

Darn, I just lost what I wrote to you when I tried to post. Short version: my OS trained under Dr. Byrd so I feel pretty good about that. Surgery (same as yours) is next week on the day I get my period. I found your blog today and thought it was hilarious that the first post I saw was about periods! I wasn't even doing a search for that. So, do you think I should postpone a week or just get

Thanks Jess, nice to hear I'm not imagining things. At least when we're old and grey we can look forward to the "change of life" and qualifying for hip replacements, LOL!!! Aren't you going in tomorrow?? Speedy recovery to you!! Hang in there and be patient with it:)

Hi Vanessa, congrats on your recovery, it sounds like you are doing really well!
As for the pain coinciding with PMS, yes definitely! It took me a while to figure it out but eventually I put two and two together.
Can you take some anti-inflammatories to help?
All the best
Jess
