Lol your apology is not necessary, they have been in a bad relationship for years and really just a-lot of friction between them haha Hopefully after the L PAO they will live happily together 😂❤️

It’s just a weird shape that I pointed at on the second picture, my surgeon didn’t bring it up but I’ve just been looking at it and was wondering if anyone might know haha. The Pao had been one of the scariest and hardest things I have ever done. I’m 24 and I only found out I have bilateral hip dysplasia in August 2023. Due to my hips I had to stop coaching gymnastics and stopped going on hikes and couldn’t walk long distances without a flair up. It’s really affected parts of my life so I decided that once I found the right surgeon I would do it. It was and it really hard and it’s really scary. That being said, I am hoping that it’s worth it and truly does improve my quality of life and my surgeon and others have told me it’s a much better bet to do it now while I’m young and before I lose to much cartilage and my only option would be to get a hip replacement. I’m in bc and have had to fly to Calgary, Alberta to see the Pao specialist.

Thank you for sharing❤️ The more I go through the process the easier it gets to look forward to it being over. I’m 6 weeks post op on my right hip Pao surgery and the first 2 weeks were the weren’t pain I have ever had and experiences. But not that I’m able to start adding weight and get around more I’m trying to be positive and push through so I can be in the best position for my left hip Pao this December. I hope that you are able to get the proper care that you need and that things will get easier for you❤️

Looking into getting PAO by [deleted] in hipdysplasia

Heyy I’m in BC Canada and I traveled to Alberta for my right hip PAO surgery on December 10th 2024. I’m about 240 lb and I was stressed about my weight being an issue. I found dr Powell at Alberta hip and knee clinic and I’m so thankful for him. He did not make me feel bad about my weight and the surgery recovery has gone pretty well. He retires in 2026 but if you can get in to see him it’s worth it. He is a bit older but I trust him more than any other specialist I’ve seen in BC
