Torn Hip Labrum - advice, recovery and experiences (Read 1147 times)

I'm starting to come to grips with the possibility that my other hip is jacked up   I'm holding out a teeny bit of help that it's just a tight psoas.

I have a 10k on sunday.   My run on Wednesday sucked so I took the rest of the week off... we'll see how this weekend goes.

Well im doing ok. The past few weeks haven't been the greatest. I was making all these improvements and then I started feeling like I was at a stand still. Still can't stand more than 20 minutes without pain and can't walk more than a block without limping. I've been getting some nerve pain down the back of my leg and butt and have been feeling some of my old pain which was kind of depressing. I do have a lot of si issues so we are trying to take care of that as well. I saw my doctor yesterday and he recommended doing what my PT suggested which is a si injection so we can completely focus on the hip right now. If things don't settle down then I might get a hip injection as well ugh what a mess! So I'm trying to stay positive and keep myself busy since I'm not supposed to go back to work until July 8. I hope everyone else is doing good. How's your running going ?

Don't get down. With this surgery it seems like one step forward and two steps back. When I was around 6-8 weeks I was sure I was never going to run again. I was so depressed. It will get better. Hang in there!

Just got the news today--my insurance company's decision to not cover my surgery was overturned by an external review agency! So all is good--thank God Such a relief!!

Great news, Cpresson!

stfuandrun - how goes the return to running?

I scheduled my ortho appt for the other hip.  He can't see me until July 15th.  And won't order the MRI ahead of time.   Argh, I hate this process!

Ugh.  I'm sorry again, Oski.  And that sucks about Mr. Shu too.  Glad to hear that the newly operated on seem to be healing nicely!

So far my "good" hip has been fine.  Who knows how well my operated hip could be doing with running at this point, but I'm coming up on 3 months on this foot injury.  So much for running this year. 

I had several starts and stops returning to running.  First, hip pain.  Then what I think was some bursitis.  And then when the operated hip started to feel good, the other hip started to hurt.   BUT the good thing is the repaired hip is really doing awesome all things considered.  A few tweaks here or there now but overall - I am so glad I had it fixed.  It was just a long ass process to get there though.

I just hope that means the other hip will be as successful, if I end up with the same diagnosis.

I saw the doc and he gave me an injection, hopefully it helps.
