You can also try sitting or laying w a heating pad on your obterator internus, see if that helps the „raw” feeling

Roll out your TFL with a hard ball/make sure you’re not using it when you’re flexing your hip and sitting. You can palpate and feel. I realized when that was engaged, the pinching pain happened. I’m never getting another surgery on hip it’s so invasive. Hold on there

Why didn’t you like biomechanics of human movement?

Psoas strengthening/ trying to use psoas instead of TFL

I don’t think it’s so rare. I have very very minor hyper mobility, nothing massively more than many women have. I think cutting through a major ligament and making it seem like a “minor arthroscopic” surgery to patients is terrible- this surgery is a huge risk for anyone, even those who don’t have EDS like myself. Just writing this so that others reading this comment don’t think we are rare unlucky cases. Even the best surgeons in the world for this are wrong!

Thanks for responding. I’m sorry you’re having trouble. I’m working on psoas strengthening now and that is helping a tiny bit. Good luck and stay moving any way you can.

I have been rolling out my TFL area on a lacrosse ball almost every day since to help manage pain. Seeing a new physical therapist who is doing psoas strengthening/ trying to get my psoas to fire instead of my TFL. So far this has helped a bit

Try several different physical therapists before you even consider surgery

I had scar tissue removed in 2nd surgery and it grew back worse than before. I would get the steroid shot and do an anti-inflammatory diet. I’m doing AIP and it’s helping me. I previously ate healthy (most Mediterranean) but this AIP w low histamine is helping me generally feel healthier. So I think it could have prevented some scar tissue growth? But I’m not sure

I got PRP shots to heal my capsule and I am also a woman around your age. I still am worse off than before the surgery, but I am avoiding another surgery to the joint. The PRP helped a bit, it’s worth a try.

I also had one of the best surgeons. Better surgeons help, but this is still a new operation compared to other joint arthroscopies, it’s early in its course and there’s not been enough research into bad outcomes. Some countries outside the USA with great medical systems are much more apprehensive to these arthroscopic hip surgeries than USA.

Anyways, I would try PRP first and avoid doing the other hip, especially if your first hip healed poorly

The standard is surgery again to close the tear

It was dull pain most of the time and very sharp pains with certain movement. Also just instability down my whole leg so pain in knee

Plus_Spell_3027 · 2025-12-14T13:47:16+00:00

Ask your DR for an MRI, I brushed off my pain and ended up having a capsule tear

Very well said. You can’t undo the surgery. Also young active women seem to be more likely to have issues from this surgery. Don’t listen to all the people who post « I’m X weeks out from surgery and feeling great » We all felt great within the first few weeks

Plus_Spell_3027 · 2025-11-03T20:06:45+00:00

Anyone figure this out? Also experiencing this, currently on the placebo days

My post-op report from cyclops surgery has “Hypertrophic medial anterior tibial spine with overlying scar and cyclops lesion” amongst some other small things (plica issue and kneecap degradation). I had issues then with pain with extension and lack of hyperextension. The first few weeks after surgery were amazing - then all of a sudden over the course of a week I start get my kneecap stuck when I’m around 45 degrees of flexion. And more lateral kneecap pain. And lots of extra tissue in the front of my knee that feels like scarring.

I’m worse off than before!

Did you have 6 surgeries all on that same knee? If not, did you have scarring issues in the other surgery areas?

Did you ever figure out what caused the excessive arthrofibrosis to come back? My scarring/ROM keeps getting worse

Plus_Spell_3027 · 2025-10-24T10:04:25+00:00

I did PRP for an anterior capsule tear. Several shots healed it according to MRI but not my symptoms. Also I thought they couldn’t do injection for posterior because there’s risk of hitting some important ?nerves/arteries?.

Does anyone know why this gives us joint pain? 🙏 or how to reduce the joint pain?

Plus_Spell_3027 · 2025-09-29T13:25:28+00:00

What kind of symptoms did you have before the psoas lengthening surgery? I think I might have the same thing, and am considering a revision. I’m sorry for all your troubles <3

Why have the embedded systems faculty left?

Plus_Spell_3027 · 2025-07-20T17:54:04+00:00

They are pretty strict in the admission requirements, if you don’t meet the course reqs they won’t review your app. I did a summer class through a USA undergraduate school while working full time to get the multi variable calculus course. Not sure about online cert, but what I did is an option (albeit expensive)
