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.

No limp !

For the first time today I was able to walk without a limp ! I have been going to the pool and soaking it which has certainly helped with the tightness. I have been taking some walks and there is really only a small amount of pain, that of course I can deal with. I am having to take a new approach to my recovery and hopefully it proves to be productive. I also wanted to thank Katie for stopping by and reading. This isn't an easy thing to deal with but once it has started moving forward the progress is huge.
