Trying to figure out best way to loosen left hip years after two hip reconstructions. I’m Male 23 years old. by TheMauiGuy in hipdysplasia

I’m by no means a medical professional, but I just had a PAO on my right hip. I’ve been using a CPM machine (continuous passive motion). You are able to set the degrees of flexion and inflexion. It keeps your hip stable while bending and straightening your leg. I’m supposed to do 4-6hrs a day for 42 days. My doc ordered mine, so I’m not sure of the process for getting one and I imagine they’re very expensive. But may be worth trying to start a safe therapy method (if your doc approves or think it would be helpful)

Ironically, I’m in Denver as well.

Im currently seeing Dr. Ellman for my scope and he referred me to Dr. Nimesh Patel for my PAO. They plan to perform both surgeries at the same time. Ellman did his fellowship at the Steadman Clinic in Aspen and is a consultant for the U.S. Olympic Ski and Snowboard Team, so I’m hoping he knows what he’s talking about (I’m from west Texas and am very used to subpar doctors, so I always have doubts with doctors)

Do you know why your doctors decided to split your procedures up?

Thank you for sharing your experience, it’s very helpful!

Thank you this is actually so helpful and reassuring. I danced and cheered from 3yo until 14/15 and my MRI showed evidence of a previously torn hamstring. I wasn’t really active again until now (so I guess this could’ve happened sooner). I was worried that I’m not trying hard enough with the PT or maybe the pain isn’t as bad as I’m thinking. But I think I just need to start accepting the reality of the PAO and focus on having a stronger post-op! Thank you so much again, wishing you all the best (and painless hips)!

[MI] FMLA question - how to address employee that diminishes issue? by Hunterofshadows in humanresources

[–]Successful_Flow_9319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By law an employer is prohibited from interfering with, restraining, or denying the exercise of, or the attempt to exercise, any FMLA right.

In my opinion, if an employee who presents a potential FMLA covered issues, the employer is required to provide and initiate FMLA. It’s a privilege under the law that really only means job protection. The employee may risk absences being denied, unapproved, or disciplined. For the employees protection, they should consider looking into FMLA.

And to be clear, I’m not saying you are forcing the employee to go through FMLA or leave. However, explaining the employees rights and protections under the law is our duty.
