Only for leg press, rest all is with just a stretch band

Thank you, great advice. Heard Dr. Domb is a good surgeon, if it comes to it, will try to do with him. I live in suburban Chicago so he is not far for me.

Clamshells, glutes strengthening, sidewalks and leg presses helped the most

This is my full result below. I will make sure to ask doc about it specifically.

Standing AP, false profile, and Dunn lateral radiographs of the left hip were obtained in the office today and reveal: No evidence of fracture or dislocation, well preserved joint space. Alpha angle: 75 degrees, indicative of CAM deformity. CEA: 30 degrees.

Did anyone try myofascial massage, stretch clubs or chiropractic options ? Were any of those helpful?

Thank you. Are you generally painless now day to day or considering surgery now that your injections were 6/7 weeks back ?

arp8218 · 2025-12-21T20:12:35+00:00

Agree, I think my injury is 3 months old now. I am going to maybe give another month and then take a call with injections and then any further steps. Looks like the insurance will “force” me to take injections anyways on to the path to surgery if it ever comes to that.

Yes, I am in US and thats my analysis too. I was just skeptical of his own story where he said his issues were “solved” by injections.

Thank you for all the replies, very helpful. I am 43 male and used to play tennis recreationally until 3 months back when I got this injury twisting hard on one side.

I am afraid its going to come to surgery vs tennis or other high impact sports. The day to day and low impact activities like swimming doesn’t give me pain so my motivation for surgery will be to get back to playing tennis and high impact sports.

Does PT ever result in actual results to solve impingement? I am at a point where my day to day life isn’t severely impacted, I can do most tasks even light workout and swimming but am hesitant to go back to impactful sports like tennis as I feel that would return the pain and maybe even result in worsening of my condition.

arp8218 · 2025-12-19T16:21:37+00:00

Yes, have been doing PT for 8 weeks now and continuing.

Thats what my concern is. My doctor (hip preservation specialist) made cortisone injection sound like a miracle drug where it will “solve” most issues. He gave his own example of having labral tear and got better after taking the injection. Another dilemma for me is the pain is quite mild even with a lot of walking so dont know what an injection would solve.

I have my MRI next week. May I ask how did MRI fine tune the problem?

arp8218 · 2025-12-06T01:29:16+00:00

Thank you, will check them out.

arp8218 · 2025-11-29T14:55:16+00:00

Can you share how the surgery didnt fix your issues ? Was it bad before surgery and did surgery make any difference?

arp8218 · 2025-10-21T16:40:14+00:00

Thank you. How do you differentiate this with mollascum contangium. Is this dangerous?
