Walking Finally!

So after 3 long weeks of 20% weight bearing on the left leg I am finally walking on both feet, although still with the help of one crutch. I've been to PT 3x and recovering very well!

Left Hip Labral Repair Arthroscopy Surgery Picture

Ok here is the best of the pictures from my recent Left Hip Labral Repair Arthroscopy Surgery on 3/27/13. The picture shows the 2 push lock anchors used to reattach the labrum after it was debrided and repaired. They also did femoroplasty in an attempt to prevent any further FAI.

One Week Post-Op Left Hip Surgery #2

So I have officially made it through my first post-op week of my left hip surgery #2. The results were that the first hip surgery repair and suture were still in place and that a new, additional tear had occurred nearby. This time they debrided and push lock anchored with 2 sutures, so I now have a total of 3. Pictures coming soon from the surgery hopefully. I also found out today I will be on crutches another TWO not ONE week. :( Disappointed to say the least considering for some reason I had thought it was only 2 week crutches time. Oh well time does seem to be flying by with all this sleeping and pain medications so I'm sure before I know it, it will be all behind me again.
