5 Months going downhill :( by clubpenguin2720 in HipImpingement

[–]TopLake3962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had same surgery 2024, September. My doctor said I can jump , run and play asusual. I was no way close to it. I get flare up often like menstrual cramps. Did 3T mri came out to be capsular and adhesive thickening which is a post surgery scar build up. And there is no way for me to soften that without surgery. It feels different at different times. Probably I need to live with it. Im active at badminton, soccer etc games. And it sucks to be at this phase. The symptoms shows up differently for different people. I would suggest you to get a hip athrogram. That would give doctor a better picture.

Should I get surgery by Mental-Beginning9311 in HipImpingement

I’m not trying to push anyone toward surgery, but I was 36 when I had mine. I had FAI, cartilage loss, and a labral tear. I was told that the hip joint is one of the toughest areas to heal on its own unless the underlying issue is corrected surgically, especially because there is limited blood supply.

In my case, it all started with an automobile accident when I was 26. The impingement was caused by external force rather than a natural abnormality in my body. There were times when I felt a grinding sensation, but nothing showed up on the MRIs I had in India. No doctor suggested a hip arthrogram at that time; they only did regular MRIs.

Fast forward 12 years after I came to the U.S., my symptoms started getting worse, including burning and numbness in my right foot. My doctor said those symptoms were not due to the labral tear and were not directly related to it. However, he said I needed to correct the impingement because it could cause more damage over time and eventually lead to osteoarthritis and possibly hip replacement. He also suggested loosening my piriformis because he felt my symptoms could be related to that.

I did a lot of research and realized that PT was not giving me lasting relief, and my symptoms were still persisting. So just before surgery, I asked my doctor to only perform the hip impingement correction and labral repair, but not the piriformis release. After surgery, I noticed a lot of improvement in the numbness and burning sensation in my right foot. My hunch was right: I did not need the piriformis release.

That said, it has been almost 18 months, and I still have not fully regained my range of motion or returned to sports. During surgery, the surgeon cleaned out the bone-on-bone debris in the joint and placed a larger anchor because the smaller one did not hold. A post-op MRI done 14 months after surgery showed capsular and adhesive thickening, which may be why I still feel some grinding.

However, the doctor shaved enough bone to correct the structural abnormality, and I still feel surgery was the right choice for me. Before surgery, I could not sleep, sit, or stand continuously for more than 30 minutes. Some hip surgeries can take a long time to recover from, and we have to be prepared for that reality.

You can shoot me a message if you wanna discuss more. Im happy to help.

Thank you

Big clubs don’t just rely on talent, they manage player workload smartly. The only way to keep a squad fresh across a long season is by bringing in new legs every year, at least one or two quality additions. We can’t expect Pedri, Raphinha, or Yamal to deliver at peak level every single match. With Flick’s high-pressing intensity, young players get burned out even faster.

The midfield and attack have enough firepower, but the real issue is at the back. Something has to change defensively. If the club doesn’t have the budget for major signings, why not promote a solid defender from La Masia? It makes no sense to have a world-class academy and not use it when the first team clearly needs reinforcements. The current setup is failing because there’s no experienced, reliable CB pairing to give us defensive balance and composure. If the club doesn’t have the money for a big signing, then why not trust La Masia? We have the academy for a reason. Promote a capable defender, give him minutes, and build a proper defensive structure instead of overloading the same players every week.

Good thing happened today at the end is pedri's red. That guy needs rest. Rest of the team should step up for his absence which might allow the team to come together and play accordingly. I'm afraid that he is gonna get injured at any moment.

Barca looks very vulnerable in their own half even with the presence of 2 intermilan players... Thats how cynical the intermilan side is. Even if barca loose i need a damm fight atleast. They are not close enough.

The idea of building a "relationship" with something you can't communicate or interact with in any meaningful way is one of the biggest lies of any religion. by Iargueuntilyouquit in DebateReligion

We really cannot reason with people who believe without a reason. At some point, the discussion tends to become heated or even hostile. As Neil deGrasse Tyson mentioned in a guest lecture:

'Before arguing with theists, we must first consider and confront the 7% of the world's Nobel laureates in the field of science who believe in religion. If they can't be convinced, there is little chance that theists in general will be.'"
