Hey !

I decided to join the many internet-savvy people and start blogging ! I have read many accounts of FAI and the process of diagnosis, surgery and recovery. This will be my record of the entire process and I will be extremely honest about how it affects my mental and physical state. Others will be googling when they find out they have the same diagnosis and support seems to be the thing missing.
My diagnosis (right hip)-
- cam-type FAI and pincer-type
- partial detachment of the anterior/superior labrum (tear)
- fraying along the articular margin of the superior labrum with minimal partial detachment
- chondral softening along the superior acetabular rim manifested by low signal in the cartlidge (no clue what that means !)
- mild chrondral surface irregularity
- chondral softening involving adjacent superior femoral head
- physiologic joint fluid
- insertional tendinosis of the right gluteus minimus

My left hip is almost the same but says complete detachment and no fluid reported.

2 in one day !

Wow, 2 updates in one day. It was pretty late last night.
Today I woke up a little tight in the hamstring but nothing a short walk couldn't work out. My back is seriously becoming a problem and I hope with some good physical therapy I can figure out how to cope with everything all at once. Having the Facet Joint Arthritis along with favoring a hip and still having one with issues I find myself extremely sore by the end of the day. There have been some bad muscle spasms too but hopefully within a few months I will be as close to normal as I can be considering. I also can't wait to get these last stitches out Tuesday !
