thanks to everyone that posted replies to my questions...no hr needed here, but

[JohnnyD]

i have to have arthroscopy for the labral tear and fai.  booo!

i am going to dr kelly at hss/nyc.
dr su took one standing xray and said there is good joint space, no need for hr.  he didn't have records of my prior ct scan and frog legged xrays, though.

either way, i am glad to not have hr, but also wish i was because scopes are not always successful.

thanks to everyone here that helped me out when i was freaking out over the prospect of surgeries for hr. 
anyone know of a good forum for fai?

best wishes
john

Hi John

I want to wish you Good Luck with your upcoming arthroscopy.  We would like to hear from you after your surgery to hear how you are doing.  If you have time, we would like to hear some updates so we can learn more about arthroscopy from a patient's point of view.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Best Wishes.

Pat
