    Ice machines

    I have a Breg vPulse that was prescribed for my hip arthroscopy. Insurance covered it because the primary purpose was DVT prevention. The compression/ice sleeve was a blessing.

    A little anxious for March

    I found this site useful a year ago when I was prepping for a left hip arthroscopy for labral repair and cam impingement. Didn’t work as anticipated. After surgery, I was told there wasn’t much to repair - labrum was shredded. So fast forward - had follow up with doc and he commented he had...
