    Hip Arthroscopy Where to go now?

    Thanks for all your messages. Jo - Please don't think I was ignoring your advice. I thought I'd try one more thing and it all snowballed rather quickly. The original OS said he wouldn't consider another arthroscopy, because, like you said, if the first one hasn't worked, the second one won't...

    Hip Arthroscopy Where to go now?

    Hi all, Hope you are all ok, it's been a while since I checked in. Looking for some help/advice. If you remember in May 2012 I had a hip arthroscopy (pincer impingement, labral debridement) that actually made me worse. I lost most of my mobility and my consultant fobbed me off. Well long...

    Revision THR Resurfacing problem I have had

    Hi Norman, I just wanted to drop you an email to say i'm in the same position. I had a hip arthroscopy at the QE in Gateshead in May 2012, and it has actually made me worse, i have no mobility now and i am in constant pain. I have been back to the consultant who fobbed me off, and i...

    2 weeks post //not as big a CRYBABY anymore

    Hi Crybaby. I like you was an extremely active person. I was diagnosed with FAI and labrum tear and had surgery last may (2012) and within about 4 weeks, i knew that something was badly wrong. My doc told me the same as yours did "it's healing, it's fine, i consider it a success" a year...

    Hip Arthroscopy Where to go now?

    I did Josephine. I'm going to see what the outcome of this "conversation" is, and see if i can persuade them just to replace the hip. If they are still going to hum and ha as to what they can do, or suggest another arthroscopy, I'll ask to be referred. I'm going to be calling the Prof's...

    Hip Arthroscopy Where to go now?

    Thanks Tashia, i just don't know what i'm going to do. losing one part time job is bad enough, but to lose my full time employment as well? I don't have any family, and without my house i have nothing. I just wish that the medical professionals had got this op right the first time. And now...

    Hip Arthroscopy Where to go now?

    Hi Josephine, Yes, I had my arthroscopy (26th May 2012) at the QE under a Mr Loughead. 3 post op visits and i only ever saw a clinical physio who was giving me medical details, so i asked to see Mr Loughead and was told he'd be too busy (even though it was his clinic!) I eventually saw him...

    Hip Arthroscopy Where to go now?

    Hi all It's been a long time since i last posted, and unfortunately things haven't improved, they have only got worse. Just to recap, I was diagnosed with FAI - Pincer impingement - and a labral tear and had surgery for that in May 2012. When they operated they found my hip was in a mess...

    Confused by continued hip pain

    I'm in a similar predicament Daisymae. I only had an arthroscopy for FAI, the first 2 months were fine, and now i'm in worse pain than before the op. I have to use crutches, my leg gives way, the pain is immense and is in the groin, front of thigh, side of butt cheek. My new consultant...

    Hip Arthroscopy Where to go now?

    I feel more positive now that i feel that someone is taking me seriously and not just fobbing me off. Fingers crossed i get some answers. And i doubt i will have to wait 6-8 weeks for an arthrogram either!

    Hip Arthroscopy Where to go now?

    Update time!!!! Saw my new consultant yesterday, who turns out to be a knee specialist!!! lol So he's referring me to a professor at Newcastle. He sent me immediately for plain film x-rays and is arranging another arthrogram. It is so refreshing for doctors to be helpful. The attitude was...

    Hip Arthroscopy Where to go now?

    most of my research was done using google and typing in key phrases like "failed hip arthroscopy" or "pain after hip arthroscopy" and trawling through the results. I should have bookmarked them, but stupidly i didn't. Good luck with the injection hun, hopefully it will at least dull the pain...

    Hip Arthroscopy Where to go now?

    sorry it hasn't gone great. From the intensive research i've done on medical journals etc I've found a lot of people who have scopes and experience pain go back to their consultants to find arthritis has suddenly appeared and has gone a bit wild. Did you have the cortisone shot before you...
