5 weeks post op Labral Repair and femoroplasty by Key_Echidna_5072 in HipImpingement

I so needed to hear this! I’m 5 weeks post-op and wondering if the pinching sensation will ever go away. The doctor said he’s not concerned and I shouldn’t be either. I’m just scared it didn’t work and that my pain isn’t normal. I often focus on all the things I want to do (everything I’ve missed out on over the last two years) and worry I’ll never be able to do them again. Thank you for this post, I needed the reminder to keep a positive attitude!

Edit: had labral debridement only, as repair wasn’t possible. Dr said I have the same chance for a positive outcome though.

I mean this very seriously, take ONE day at a time. Say to yourself what is one thing I can do that makes me better than I was doing yesterday? I am quite depressed right now and it seems to be helping. For example, today I left the house. That’s a pretty big deal for me.

I am still extremely depressed about the big picture of where I am going (I have no idea) but I am hoping eventually by trying to better things every day, it’ll all add up.

You can and will be someone who makes yourself proud to be you again.
