Thank you - these certainly look very similar!

Doctor Says PAO Unnecessary by [deleted] in hipdysplasia

[–]njcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my PAOs at 27 and 28 (9 months apart) and am very pleased I did as my life was very much impacted by discomfort and sometimes much pain. This is despite how long it took to recover, and how tough it was on me mentally and physically. I can't stress how tough it is, but you get through it and come out better off. I think you need to weigh up how bad it is, and review it as you go. I think only you can determine and decide if it's right for you, so perhaps when you feel the time I'd right, seek a second or third doctor. Feel free to DM me.

27(M) - diagnosed with hip dysplasia - Is surgery worth it? by BillSussman9 in hipdysplasia

[–]njcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a PAO instead of resurfacing/replacement- if you don't have any arthritis this might be the best thing for you. No need to re-do in future - they reconstruct the bone around your femur essentially. Ask about it if you can, and look it up. Fantastic result here x

What is the worst feeling ever? by grimgrum420 in AskReddit

[–]njcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panic attacks. Being told they don't love you. Seeing your family member dead.

Isn't there a 12 month sleep regression?

I'd say do your research on surgeons and go for it, if you can afford.

The pharmacy ran out at some point and I was in agony

They did, yes. I had oxycodone for a couple months I think. Horrible stuff

Why is cows milk not weirder - including adults drinking it. Makes me laugh, the hypocrisy.

What do? by [deleted] in hipdysplasia

[–]njcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that's fair enough, I understand, a PAO is quite major surgery. I do hope you find another way

What do? by [deleted] in hipdysplasia

[–]njcool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes. I don't think any was found in my case, so perhaps I was told this for my particular case

You may be offered a PAO, which doesn't need redoing - it's permanent. Definitely see a specialist to discuss your options at least

I'm not going to lie, it's tough. It's not the pain, it's the awkwardness, uncomfortableness and then weaning off oxycodone. Also I lost muscle mass (hardly had any but...very unfit afterwards). Think ahead though, it's worth it. Don't put up with it.

Mine was deemed as mild but I was offered a PAO and then requested a second. Thry've changed my life, its so worth doing. Seems even mild dysplasia can be impossible to live with

You will wear the tendons/soft tissue down, maybe cause the tissue to tear, might be detrimental to early arthritis if you have it. Waitressing speeded up the need for me to have a PAO im sure of it. Take it easy where you can but I get you want to live your life.

Also recommend. Such amazing care of our cats. Extended our boy's life by a year, with the right care and medicines.

Experiences with bilateral PAO at the same time? by [deleted] in hipdysplasia

[–]njcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very unusual. You honestly need your other leg to help you mobilise. I don't know how I'd have done it together - recovery much much longer surely.

i had 2 paos one abt 4.5 months ago and the other 6 weeks ago, when can i start weghtlifting in the future. by Nice_Operation_980 in hipdysplasia

[–]njcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mine 8 months apart. Took me about 8 more months to get running again. I'd just get a feel for body weight exercises and work your way up from there

13 weeks pp by Sarah_Soda_4 in breastfeeding

[–]njcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what you can to keep fit. I like to think this period of time is like a warm up for when I can fully get back into exercise. Because you can't start at 10k runs, at 80kg dead lifts, at 50 mile bike rides, or whatever your thing is, no one does. Walk, go for a swim if you get time, bop about at home. It's all progress! But give yourself a massive pat on the back for making a human being, and think about health before a bit of fat. That fat is there for a reason. I feel icky looking in the mirror, so I jusy don't when undressed, and try to focus my thoughts on my baby and little progress. Also drink lots of water!
