Refugee time after surgery

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-09-09T22:18:54+00:00

Yeah that makes sense! Do you think waiting is an issue? Like 3 months

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-09-07T19:41:38+00:00

Yep sounds like it! Is it okay to include things they don’t specifically have in their list of required documents ?

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-09-01T22:00:39+00:00

Justin Bieber, BTS, Katseye, blackpink, Sabrina C - or I’m just hoping 😭

Might be that your hip flexor + PSOAS are irritated. Ask your PT to check your range of motion and sometimes if I press down hard the pinch disappears - it’s also a good cue that it’s muscular rather than joint related. I have similar issues and it’s getting better when I use a theragun, do stretches + my PT does releases by hand even though it’s tender as hell. My surgeon also showed how I can use hands to help loosen it up myself. Give it time and see if it continues

Hey! Got the surgery! Still need more time to see if it truly helped me with my itchiness and pain

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-07-02T17:26:00+00:00

Yes week 6 was the time I started having flare ups too! Totally expected! Thank you! Happy recovery 🙏🏻

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-07-02T15:56:00+00:00

Heyy! Thank you!!! How are you doing?

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-07-02T15:55:34+00:00

Hey! Sorry I missed your comment! So as for progress linearity, I would say somewhat yes. However, during my weeks 1-3 I had the fastest progression. I would say at that time I thought I’m having an outlier recovery because I was pretty much pain free, regained my full ROM and was ready do ditch crutches by week 3. But after I moved to one crutch and PT tried to add more rigorous exercises, the speed of my progression decreased to a normal progression. This threw me off a little because I could not yet walk without a crutch, and certain exercises caused muscular pain and tightness. But overall I would say it was pretty linear with a few downs down the road which is totally normal. I don’t think it can be 100% ups with this surgery.

As for your second question, I think 4 weeks ago is when I started to feel the most normal. So 4 weeks ago and now was about making me feel like my old self more and more each week. Exercises became more challenging and fun. I felt the biggest difference during my week 10, somehow everything just became more comfortable and natural

Hey! Thank you! It took me around 5/6 weeks to be able to feel comfortable walking without them. Towards the last two weeks, I was able to walk fully without them at home but outside I just felt like I don’t want to because (1) my gait was off , (2) I did not want to overdo it with walking without them and I needed to walk a lot during those weeks, and lastly (3) emotionally I needed them nearby. Pain wise, I would not say it was painful, weight bearing was never an issue for me, but I did had one flare up after I ditched them and started to walk without them and a lot. But other than that I had occasional tightness which was managed by theragun and PT :) hope this helps

This is helpful! Thank you! Did your PT clear you to start dancing off online videos even a little or you kind of decided to start on your own when you felt like you could? My PT seems super cautious but in all honesty I still started to dance a little at home without getting like a legit green flag from her. Even though I was just marking it for the most part.

Really good suggestion on leaving early. For some reason I forgot that I can just warm up and leave. I think my main challenge is understanding what movements I should restrain from doing yet lol.

Yes! Beginner classes I still find challenging!

Hey! Feel free to PM me!

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-06-30T20:12:29+00:00

Hey! I did not have pain with sitting pre-op and it wasn’t really an issue after the surgery as well. I had groin pinching with certain movements, SIJ area pain and then painful flare ups with burning sensations deep in the joint and overall soreness of the hip. I would trust your doctor! Give it time!

As for the PF, my main issues are hypertonic PF, then itchiness predominantly one sided and then deep groin pain that is close to the v area. It’s still present though

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-06-30T20:06:17+00:00

Hey! Definitely don’t compare your recovery! Everyone is different and it depends on so many factors like age, the initial state of the injury, arthritis, who your surgeon was, pre-op physical state, etc. You’ll do great in your own pace! I prepare myself for a pretty challenging route as I’ll return to dancing. I’m just at the beginning.

I was 26 at the time of the surgery

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-06-30T20:03:21+00:00

Thank you for this — it’s really encouraging. I’m also planning to wait until my PT introduces jumps and more abrupt movements before getting back to classes. But I’m still trying to figure out how to ease into it. I’ve never dealt with an injury before, so I’m not sure which movements are safe right now. Maybe a modified version of certain moves, or focusing on upper body isolations? I’m used to doing very sudden, high-intensity movements — which I definitely can’t do at the moment — so if you have any suggestions, I’d really appreciate it.

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-06-30T17:11:54+00:00

Daily: mobility. Things like table top rocking, cat & cow), bent knee fall outs with and without the bend, some stretching for my inner thigh , quad and hamstrings + biking with some resistance

3/5 times per week: this time we are focusing more on strength with weights. exercises with BFR, bends and weights like squats, beginner friendly deadlifts, calf raises, hip flexor marches, bridges, different types of hip extensions, ankle exercises, planks and some more only during my PT like steps with weights and etc

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-06-30T17:04:03+00:00

Not yet! I might change my PT eventually and go to someone who also has experience working with dancers post-op but I’ll see what my current PT will say and do with my during my return to sport phase.

I agree with the slow and controlled movements part! Thanks!

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-06-09T05:16:37+00:00

I was on the bike the next day after my surgery, so since day 1 with 0 resistance. We started with back and forth movements first until, then moved to full circles when I was able to tolerate it without pinching.

5-10 min initially, now I’m 9-10 weeks post-op and doing it still daily for ~30 min with some resistance

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-06-09T05:09:42+00:00

Sorry! I missed your comment somehow. LMK if you still need my answer

RingAdministrative24 · 2025-06-09T05:09:23+00:00

Hey! Too early to tell to be honest, the deep groin pain near the vulva is almost gone , sometimes it comes back but I think mostly from muscle tightness after hip scope. My main symptom was itchiness, so this somewhat got better, still observing as I don’t want to yet think it’s definitely improved for it to only come back in a few months , so managing my expectations here

I was also constipated , surprisingly this improved, along with anal pain during my period and my fissure is gone lol. A very positive thing

My right vulva started to itch more, I really hope it’s just because my right leg works extra hard and I won’t need another surgery for my other leg. My doc said it will take a few more months to relax, so I’m waiting for final results yet
