Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I have hip surgery scheduled at the Mayo Clinic on August 25 for surgical hip dislocation and derotational femoral osteotomy for my right hip. Basically, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) wasn't corrected with the more typical athroscopy, so I'm going for a much more invasive surgery that I hope finally corrects the pain in my hip. Some of you may remember me from back in 2018 when I was in so much pain after arthroscopic surgery and PT, and you all helped me feel a lot better about quitting PT.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this type of surgery, and anything you could share. I'll be on crutches for about six weeks, and off work for a recommended 12 weeks. I am also hoping my husband can be home with me for most of recovery since due to covid-19, he's working from home.
