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.

Howdy .....

So here it is .. a new year. Hopefully 2010 is much more productive that 2009.
I am finally getting over the sickness that has been kicking my ass lately but think I have a lingering sinus infection. Now that I have insurance it looks like it's time to find a new doctor.
My hip has been hurting a little more the last couple of weeks though. It's sore to move in certain directions and I believe it is due to my change in physical activity. I have lost 13 pounds so far and my pants finally fit like they should ! I wish I could say it was voluntary but I am still struggling physically from changes in my life.
My immune system hates me and is shot too ! I have been sick pretty much since I started my new job. I have been taking a ton of vitamin C and making sure to stay hydrated. I can only be so patient though before I start to get seriously irritated.

Removed this part of the blog for really badddddd judgement. Lesson learned the hard way !
