So, was experiencing some pain in my right hip. After an MRI, here are the results:
RESULTS: Mild hip joint degenerative disease with diminished articular cartilage and labral tear/degeneration anterosuperiorly associated with cam femoral acetabular impingement.
Mild gluteal insertional tendinosis and trochanteric bursitis.
My original orthopedic surgeon actually said that I was backed into a corner because he would never let someone scope his hip. He recommends PT. My PT pretty much says, you need to see a specialist, you have a real problem.
Fast forward, I wind up getting an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon affiliated with HSS in NYC. He recommended to have the hip scoped, the labrum re-secured and the bone shaved down. Approximately an hour long procedure. He indicated the recuperation can be tough. I wanted to have the surgery at the end of the summer, he said I probably won't make it (more damage/pain). So, I am scheduled to have the procedure on 5/24.
Any words of advice/wisdom.
Have to be honest, I am a little nervous. Thank you.
Thanks!
