Ok, I never add threads, but I am hoping that someone might know a little bit about this. Little background..........
I've been figure skating for about 24 years and after years and years of impact from falling, I finally fractured and sprained my left hip. I stayed off the ice for 4 months and decided that I was going to start skating again - the doctor was not happy about my decision - only to reinjure myself 6 months ago worse than before. I have been through 3 months (again) of physical therapy with no improvement. Of course, I haven't supposed to have been skating and have periodically anyway - dumb, as I fell a month ago and actually popped the bone out of joint - not exactly a positive situation to be honest with you and it was a little bit painful. HOWEVER, the spin that came before it was really nice, so I feel like I accomplished something. LOL
So, I see my regular orthopedic surgeon on Tuesday to find out if he is going to actually perform hip surgery and I am freaking out. Has anyone had this done? Does anyone know recovery time? Have you returned to sports and regular activities? Pain? What kind of replacement did you have, if you had a replacement? Did you have have arthroscopy?
Sorry for all the questions. Guess that I'm looking for support as much as answers.
Thanks everyone!
