sports hernias and hip fai go hand in hand.
if you have your hip popping like that, and ton of tightness when leg/hip is in full extension, then you may have the fai.
sports hernias hurt as well. ...

i think some of you are here to just argue. that in itself is a pathology.
i not once claimed to be an expert on anything, so please do yourself a favor and if you don't like my thinking, then move...

thats my point- what medical journals based on homeopathy do you know of?
there are a gazillion case studies where the patients are relieved of their symptoms. regarding this technology- ok, an...

summit, i never really claimed to be any expert on anything. so read my post and see that i am merely trying to theorize why it's not as "proven."
but yes, you can see how effective medicines other...

i imagine because of 1) these sort of practices were only measurable by results and patients' responses to treatments both observed and reported by the patients themselves, as opposed to more modern...

i have had neural therapy work very well for deep scar tissue but never for nerve issues like tinnitus.
some people have had good help with tinnitus from craniosacral therapy. if you do choose to...

i dunno about the statement that alternative medicine is alternative TO medicine.
basically 100% of all pills today are synthetically derived from either plants, animals, or minerals. these pills...

right on that's great news. i had prolo used on my shoulders and it was very beneficial.

have you ever been evaluated for hip femoroacetabular impingement, by a hip fai specialist?
i'm not saying that is what you have but your story sounds all too familiar.
the iliosacral ligament can...

3 months out from major fai surgery with labral repair.
i'm walking pretty much normally and each day i scramble along the uneven river bank.
i'm pretty pysched i got it done as of thus far.

the...

and peter, you should question doing an mra with injection. they've already found the fai and labral tears. there's no reason for another test except they can make more $. they need to go into the...

hey i am sorry i'm right but also glad for you that you've found it early on (although you were born this way, it just can take sports and things to let you know it's there). the surgery could save...

earlywood, the glenoid labrum is in your shoulder, so i wonder what the radiologist is smoking, and if it's cheaper than what i pay.
but, anterior and superior labral tears is common in hip fai. if...

4 weeks out today and i am weaning off crutches, can almost put full weight on my leg.
i am ramping up the pt and am hoping for the best while not overdoing it.
but i'm sore enough now to think...

you got it buddy. if you need another opinion, dr busconi in boston is the man for hip fai in your region.

peter if that doesn't fix all of that pain i will bet my money that it's the fai that is bothering you. you describe the classic fai syndrome, and you do the sports that often cause it to become...

you hit it on the head. the problem here is that it's cdc/ama/idsa vs docs that understand lyme, and all the $ behind the cdc/ama/idsa is keeping people from being treated. i could go on and on...

the rash only appears in about 50-60 % of people infected. docs sometimes don't do a good job of properly diagnosing it, and often the test will be false negative. wetsern blots are a more accurate...

there's lyme in montana. just not as much as in other places. tick season is happening anytime out of deep freeze. but ticks also can come in via a pet or firewood or mice.

there is a western...

i'm using a game ready as i type this, post op 2 weeks from hip fai surgery.
it's totally worth renting it. as a tip, to keep it coldest the longest, use flatter tupperware containers and/or...

some of those symptoms you describe are also common signs of a lyme disease infection. but usually you would have had a fever at some point, or the neck pain would have build up in the area at the...

i had my first fai hip surgery done on monday. i had both cam and pincer lesions burred off, 3 loose bone fragments that had busted off of the acetabular rim (socket) and were floating around in...

i recommend the hospital for special surgery on east 70th and york, big time. they are the top level of ortho surgery for the nation.

i'd get it done asap although people do life without getting the hernia fixed, i think it would depend on the size of it? the doc would know. even better, find a hernia specialist that is also an...

go see a hernia surgeon first, above all others!!!!
apparently, they will get you back into skis very very quickly.

oh, and my goal is to paddle whitewater again, and surf as well. if i can strap on a snowboard again that would be nice but i dunno about the torque placed on the hip capsule that happens when...

thanks marko. i am picking to do it in march so i can enjoy my summer without crutches. plus, the winter isn't so easy for going on walks, driving to pt, wearing shorts and flipflops, and stuff...

prolotherapy helped my shoulder problems.

as for hip fai, i am getting my surgery #1 in 3 weeks, and i am nervous, but hearing vernon's story is very encouraging.
the wife talked me into joining...

either eat less carbs and do more cardio like cycling and lots of steep hiking, or get yourself a chubby girl. be sure to get on top, humping burns lots of calories and works out that core.

these describe some symptoms of both a sports hernia and/or hip impingement.

i was gonna suggest maybe fai because of your symptoms and your sports backgrounds. i am due for first fai hip surgery on march 22nd. i have had the same symptoms you describe.
the second hip gets...

oh, and get some hip pads used for skating at crash pads .com

that is a very quick recoup to be freed to ski again. you'll be fine, there are lots of people who ski, surf, climb, and kayak with fake hips.
i have my hip scope in 7 weeks and they say 6-12 mos...

not so bad for four weeks! it sounds like you will recover well, and are the type to be diligent with pt yet are smart enough to not do too much too fast, which is super easy to do.
keep us updated.

bagtag, i appreciate your noticing that my suggestion was simply another suggestion for a nervous dad. i find it hard to believe that i was flamed for simply suggesting a pre-op option to see if it...

i am not saying i do. but barral and his crew does. that is why i suggested it to the poor fellow who his looking for options that are out there. i am not saying it's the answer so please fuck off...

i understand the severity of the situation, and was just tossing out a possible option to try before surgery. barral and his crew are far from pretend, do some real research aside from a few google...

that is awesome news, i hope to be joining you on the recovery train soon, i have my surgery scheduled on march 22nd. and i am a bit nervous as you can imagine. but your posts are encouraging.

awesome, keep us updated as you keep getting stronger and more active.

ok, i am wondering how you guys are making out post-op.
i just scheduled my surgery for march 22nd.

i have a pal that had his sij issues fixed with prolotherapy. his was subluxing due to loose iliolumbar ligament laxity resulting from a sports accident.
maybe think about it? just a thought.

as your attorney i advice you to take up the master's teachings:

loon if it doesn't get better you should get an ultrasound test with a GOOD and EXPERIENCED sports med doc. if they say it's not torn yet you still have nasty pains then get checked for a sports...

i tore my left ext oblique from the inguinal ligament. hurt like a sonofabitch.
my only advice is to avoid raking leaves, or in your case in fairbanks, shoveling snow, and above all take a brake...

keep up the good work in healing!
and keep us posted!

i've been getting prolo for my shoulders, had 4 treatments each.
i am getting prp in the shoulders in 3 weeks. it is apparently prolo times 3.
i hope it works!
