Well I've been petering along with no real progress. I see two PTs a week, one does exclusively soft tissue work and the other is an ortho PT and he does mobilization and (tries) strengthening. I do walk better than I did a few months ago but am not better. Even these PTs are getting pretty...
I had the iliopsoas injection today. While the process of setting the needle reproduced my pain, the injection did not relieve it at all, in fact it flared a bit. We waited about and hour and did the obturator and that was the same story. Unlike my groin, my emotions have grown numb to these...
I've been drinking with my meds at night. I know it's terrible and it does scare me, but it's the only thing that I have found to help with my pain.

I'm loosing it this afternoon. I'm in so much pain, it's all I can do to make it home at the end of the day. There is so much more I want to do and I'm not even talking sports, even just things like house chores. I try to hide most of it from my wife cause I know it makes her sad too. I...
@aprilc awesome thanks. The idea of my psoas being the culprit has haunted me. Dr Meyers who did my sports hernia surgery said he "saw" that my psoas was very scared over and when he learned that his surgery did not give me any relief he suggested a hip scope to clean up (I guess release) my...
@aprilc Can you please help manage my expectations for this injection? Shouldn't I expect some immediate and significant relief for the first few hours if positive? Then maybe some more lasting relief that doesn't kick in until about a week out?
I went and saw another hip surgeon today for...
@aprilc The most painful is the straight leg raise while laying down, especially if I am externally rotated (toes pointed out), it is actually very difficult to do and if I get it up once I probably won't get it up twice. The other things I can do but with some level of pain. The pain on the...
I wanted to add this as a reference for my pain location: I am D, E, and F:R3F. It seems to start hight at DR3F and go down the worse it gets. I've had adductor and pectineous injections with no relief and am still waiting on the psoas injection. Could this still be psoas or is it too low...
@scottfamilyman I am watching this thread with great interest. I am having very similar problems 3 months out. My severe groin/ medial thigh pain started immediately following surgery and has not gone away. Please read my recovery thread for more detail.

@zauberflöte For most any exercise I agree a GPS would be better, but I think for my case at least a pedometer is actually superior since I also want to capture small steps and moving about. I don't take the milage too seriously rather use it as a gauge for how active I've been that day. For...
@aprilc
So what is a lot of walking for 11 weeks? I've read everyone else's posts about going for 1/2+ walks and figured I was way behind that. Just last week I downloaded a pedometer app for my phone and it turns out I'm walking 1.5-3 miles/day without going out on any purposeful walks. Is...
