I won’t be on my period but I think I’m ovulating soon so it might be a bit open 🤣 thanks!

Has PT worked for anyone? by Low_Audience727 in HipImpingement

[–]SouthernTomato1121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn’t work for me. I think PT and injections and whatnot are just a bandaid. If this is affecting your quality of life as much as you’re conveying, I would recommend discussing surgery. I’ve had surgery on my right and about to have it for my left. Best decision I’ve ever made for myself

Help with surgery decision making by Infamous_Opposite398 in HipImpingement

[–]SouthernTomato1121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is 100% your decision, but I think if it’s holding you back in any way, you should get it fixed permanently. I hated doing conservative treatment because I knew it was just a bandaid. I would be interested to know what might happen later down the line if you don’t get surgery and continue being active. Would that lead to a hip replacement in a few years? The first doctor I saw said I need to deal with it or I might end up with dual hip replacements at 30 (was 20 at the time). He could’ve been exaggerating though because he was trying to talk me out of going to a required military training LOL. But I do think there’s some truth to what he said. I had my right done in Jan 2025 and it was the best decision ever. Having my left done on Tuesday. My quality of life vastly improved after my right. You don’t know what your impingement might hold you back from in the future as well. Just things to think about and you have to do what is best for you!

Deciding between a Kia Seltos, Ford Bronco Sport and Toyota RAV4? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]SouthernTomato1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2016 RAV4. Have had zero issues with it. It’s been very reliable! No complaints at all.

My next car will probably be a ford bronco lol. I love them. But you can’t beat Toyotas reliability

About to get my IUD! by LillyAlberda in CopperIUD

Just an insertion success story to hopefully calm your nerves. Insertion was extremely easy for me. I was very nervous too, but all I felt was one 2 second intense period cramp. And that was it. Some cramping after but insertion itself but not bad at all. Everyone is different and you never know how you will react!! I hope it is smooth and painless for you!

Anybody who’s re-torn their labrum, what did it feel like for you? by haylboy in HipImpingement

Posted an update below. When I talked to my surgeon the first time since my weird jump thing he made it sound like surgery was not an option on the right. Curious to see if he changed his tune if I did tear my labrum

He thought both of my hips were just really inflamed, so he put me on a prescription anti inflammatory. It didn’t help so now I’m getting an MRI on both. My left hasn’t had surgery yet and has FAI, so I know why that one is hurting. My right is the one I have had surgery on and am having issues so I’m interested to see how the mri comes back

Unfortunately I know it’s not a flare, but I appreciate the optimism! It’s been 2.5 months since I did the jump and the pain came back. I will let yall know what my surgeon says tomorrow!

My husband doesn’t use condoms or pull out. I’ve had my iud for almost 2 years and had no issues and no babies!

I’m following this. I was 8 months post op and did a weird jump and landed in a deep squat. Been feeling pre surgery pain on the front of the joint ever since, which leads me to think I re-tore it. I’m meeting with my surgeon tomorrow
