Went for a 5 mile run which went surprisingly okay. The only thing is, my hip is a bit sore. I used my foam roller, did some stretching, and it’s okay right now but I’m planning on going on my long run tomorrow (8 miles). I’m worried this injury is going to flare up again and get bad. Ugh 😑.

My stomach hates me this week and I’ve been having a lot of soreness from PT exercises. I hope it’s working but I still have hip pain slightly so I don’t know.

Left Hip Repair #2 - day 4

4 days in on the repair and feeling good overall, just a little groggy.  Still on two pain killers as there seems to be more residual pain that I remember from the other two ops, however, the drugs work well and I am more comfortable laying around than I remember.  

First PT is later this afternoon - will be interested to see what Russ has to say.  Crutching around is not painful, the only difficult part is keeping 20% or less weight on the left leg.  The VascuTherm 5 is a fantastic cold treatment machine - I am on it for at least 18 hours per day.  I was able to get into the programming mode and adjust it to exactly what felt right for me.  

Sitting in general is more comfortable than I remember this close to the procedure - despite swelling being greater.  I had virtually zero swelling the first time around on the left hip - this time my thigh looks like I inflated it with a bike pump.  

Mom came to town and has proven to be a huge life saver for Natalie and I.  Managing two small kids plus an immobile grouch (me) is a lot, and the kids are having a blast with their Mimi hanging around.

Left Hip Scope #2 - Day 2

Well, after continuing to degrade over the last 6 months, I finally go my left hip redone by Dr White at Western Orthopedics in Denver.  The MRI showed I had labral tears and significant CAM impingement, despite my prior procedure. 

Once they got into the hip, things were worse than advertised, lots of labral terms, delaminated cartilage and scar tissue from the previous operation.  There was some significant bruising on my labrum itself - which looked exactly like how the pain often felt - diffuse and burning.  

The procedure took 3 hours and resulted in extensive reshaping of my femoral neck, cleaning up cartilage, micro fractures, PRP injection and the creation of a new labrum from allograft tissue.  I was extremely impressed by Dr White - he made a narrated video of the procedure that he left with me so I can see exactly what they did.  The labrum they built for me looks awesome.  Dr White and his crew have this procedure completely dialed - it is no wonder he considered the best at this type of procedure.  

A big difference from the last two scopes by Dr Seng is that I stayed in hospital overnight this time.  My reservations about this proved unfounded - it made a huge difference being able to immediately get into a motion machine and have IV pain killers for the first evening.  

Having a catheter made the first evening much more enjoyable than the last two procedures.  Catheter removal on the other hand....

Midway through Day 2 as I type this and feeling alright.  Still on two types of pain pills, but have very little, if any, discomfort.  I am strapped to the CPM and ice machines at present and look forward to starting PT on Monday.  

I am very glad I bit the bullet and got this surgery out of the way.  The anxiety pre op is always worse than the reality post and I am happy to be moving onward and upward.

A little slip of the hip

I've been in crippling pain for so long that I can't remember what it's like to walk without it. I have surgery next week, and I know that means more pain, but I'm so hopeful for what comes after.

Redefining the phrase 'making a comeback'. Keep dominating @a_m_strong , #NobodyCaresGoHarder ・・・ I can honestly say that if it weren't for @strengthratio I don't think I would be lifting right now. This past year has been trying, but I'm so happy to be back under some weights. Zach is still programming my squats to make sure we keep my hip healthy & in line with my pulling. Tonight I did 3x8 at 116kg! Yay! #catalystathletics #sas #perserverance #livethelifeyoulove #tornlabrum #stayhumble #getstrongordietrying @juggernauttraining @rpstrength @catalystathletics @nobodycares_goharder @gnarlynutrition ・・・ #fitness #training #Apparel #ForTheDedicated #gym #weightlifting #motivation #success
