I'm exactly 1 month shy of my 3 year Right Hip Resurfacing. Anyways, things have been really good since. I've been working out a ton and feeling good. I teach Martial Arts and things have been going good. I'm also into bodybuilding and I'm not huge but I'm 205lbs 5'6" tall.
Anyways, tonight while teaching a kickboxing class I was demonstrating squat jumps and I can jump REALLY high. As I was doing these and tucking my knees towards my chest when I finished something was really wrong. My hip was now making a grinding feeling and was clicking like crazy. That was 5 hours ago and it's really bothering me. It isn't painful so I'm thinking that's a good sign but it still feels like it's grinding and it's popping and I feel my body is out of alignment.
I'm hoping I just tweaked something and it will be better in a few days. If it's not better by Wednesday I will call my Surgeon to see if he has any recommendations and to get a new X-Ray. Do you think I just over did it and I need to take it easy with it for a few days?
Last Thursday (today is Sunday) was leg day at the gym and I was able to go fairly heavy with squats and leg presses because I was feeling good. In the past when i go heavy on leg day I would be limping around for the next week or two. Anyways, what do you think? Just a minor setback or something more serious?
Thanks for listening. I haven't been on this forum in forever which in a lot of ways is a good thing but I'm so glad that this resource is always available.
I like your plan that if its not better by Wednesday, check with your doctor and talk about an x-ray. Clicking and grinding does not sound like a soft tissue problem, and does sound mechanical. However if you are not in pain, it could make sense to wait until Wednesday to see if it resolves itself.
Depending on your rapport with your surgeon, you might even give him a call on Monday just to get his take on the situation and see what he advises.
Good luck, and let us know it turns out.
Hi Pete long time! I agree with John mate.
Hope you sort it out and your ok!

Hey Pete! Good to hear from you.
I had something like it about eight months ago. I worked out hard on the bag and had ramped up the weights, when my back / hip just gave up for a while. I had also wiped out earlier during our wonderful winter, so all in all was in pain on my lower back, etc.
I felt like I had done something to my hip. I had my four year anniversary coming up in a few months, so decided to move it up and let Dr. Snyder look at the hip. Also decided to have metal ions done, etc.
Anyways, I went in to face the music, preparing myself for a revision in my drama filled mind. The result was that both hips were fine, my blood levels were low, I just probably had injured myself somehow. Physical therapy.
If it doesn't hurt, it probably is fine, but give Snyder a call and clear your mind if it persists. You might have been dehydrated, low synovial fluid and had it come into contact. Best thing to do is to face it and clear your mind if it keeps being an issue.
Otherwise, it sounds like you've been doing doing great.
Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback. Long time no talk but glad you two are still active here. You're both a huge asset to this forum. I've been doing a ton which is prob. why I'm in this situation. I called Dr. Snyder's office today and they said I need to come in because it's not normal what I'm experiencing. I have an appointment with him Friday morning. There still isn't any pain but something is def. wrong. I'm hoping it's just some inflamation or something of that sort. Time will tell.
Good luck with the checkup, Pistol! Please keep us informed.
Pete;
Sounds unusual, but I have not experienced that. I'm 2 days past my 3rd year anniversary on my first one also. Long ago and far away I was an Ishinryu student and can imagine how what you described might be pushing the envelope a little.
Best hopes this is just muscular or perhaps bursa related, and nothing serious. Keep us posted, many here pulling for you.
Dan
Now I am freaking out. When I go up the stairs my hip is squeaking.... This can't be good.
Think positive mate
It really doesn't sound like you displaced the resurfacing device - no severe sharp pain. You may have really over stretched and stressed the synovia and now maybe there is some temporary synovial fluid loss. That would explain the grinding and squeaking because a lack of lubrication.
Take it easy and see what surgeon says.

Yikes! Good luck. I was doing some squat jumps yesterday as part of P90X. I agree though, if you arent in pain, then chuckm's theory about the fluid makes sense.
Have you popped your Bursa maybe and therefore lost all your fluid in the joint?

I'm not sure to be totally honest. Today is a much better day which I'm happy for. 2 more days until I meet with my surgeon to see what's going on. I'm thinking I just tweaked something and that i'll be fine. In the meantime I'm just taking things easy and trying not to stress the hip out at all. Hoping this is a speedbump and not a roadblock.
Thanks for all the advice.
I know nothing of what it feels like if a resurfacing goes bad but I assume that it's pretty painful and I think your know it was broke mate
It has gotten better with each day so I'm thinking that's a good thing. It is more stable than it has been today which I'm happy about. Still no pain which is a great sign and I meet with my surgeon first thing tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed.
I had my appointment today and after the X-Rays and a few other tests my surgeon said everything looks perfect. I just overdid it and was prob. dehydrated. He said just make sure that I'm staying really hydrated prior to working out and it should be fine. He also had me do a blood ion test just to be certain but I won't have the results back until next week. THANK GOD!!!!
Knew it! I'm really pleased for you mate!! :)
Good news! I suppose we're all a little paranoid that something's gonna go wrong with our hip implants. At any rate, I've never heard of a HR actually breaking from activity (I know of a few rare cases where THRs have broken) and I'm glad to hear that's not what happened to you.
That's great Pete! Dr. Snyder and I had the same talk about eight months ago. Very cool and keep that hydration going.
I'm glad that I didn't mess this thing up. It's a major relief for sure. I just need to be smart moving forward. I did find out that my left hip is on its way out though. Dr. Snyder said I've got maybe 2 years left on it and I "might" be able to push it out to 3 years. Guess my bilateral will be here sooner than I wanted it to be. Oh well such is life
It's not too bad at all, Pete. I've been bi (lateral) for almost the last 4 years (Nov. 29th is my bi-versary), and have been enjoying it since.
The second was a bit different, but statistically the same. I think the PT actually made the first one (left) stronger in that I went through the strengthening exercises with it twice.
Same basic routine as the first, with the amazing feeling that you're done.
