L BHR with Mr Treacy

[Dannywayoflife]

Hi everyone. 21 weeks 1 day. This week I've managed to get to the gym several times. Each time walking the mile plus there and back and doing anything from 30-45 mins cv and then some light rehab type strength stuff. I feel good for it. My hip and muscles still are not 100% but I think that they are better for the exercise. I think I may possibly have a touch of bursitis around the throcanter but have used the roller on it and it seems to have helped.

Sounds great, Danny - really good to see you stepping forward like this.

[Dannywayoflife]

Thanks hern, one day at a time hay!  :)

22 weeks today. This week I've been busy on a first aid course for work. But for the most part I've been feeling good. I only really notice anything different when at extremes of rom

[hernanu]

Very cool, Danny. That's what I found after a while, only felt 'different' when I pushed myself at the extreme side. Back to doing some deep stretches (still being careful though). Starting to reach full extension on sidekicks at about chest level now.

[Dannywayoflife]

I've found that since I've stopped stretching as much I've felt better. I think my stretching aggravated things a bit so I'll leave that for a while

[hernanu]

I think that's smart, Danny - let your body tell you what it needs.

So cool to read about what lies ahead.  I just hit 12 wks and can't wait for 22 wks - how things change and the change becomes the normal.  No OA pain, stronger muscles,  less thinking about the hip.  All Wonderful Things to look forward to.  Thanks for sharing!  And Congrats on your Healing!! 

[Dannywayoflife]

Thanks mate. Im looking forward to feeling 100% and been able to gradually start boxing and some submission grappling again for the first time since June 2010.'

Just finished reading your thread from start to fininsh, the first story I have read and I got some really useful info. It sounds like you are coming on leaps and bounds now, the hard bit is over keep it up and soon you will be doing all the things you love doing. Hows the lateral ROM, has that improved?

[Dannywayoflife]

Morph,
          The lateral ROM has improved slightly I think. I have stopes stretching and I think that hs helped to behonest. Stretching might have been agrivating something I suppose. I'll leave it a few more weeks and start doing some light stretching and see what happens.

Hi all,
         I've been out of coms for a while as I've been away on holiday. Ive been at club la Santa in lanzarotte. I manage to do some light cv while I was there (getting really depressed of all the iron man athletes getting ready for the iron man race in 2 weeks) all seemed to be going ok until I started having some quite bad symptoms. I have been having some wierd feelings in the hip for a while now and even though I'm 6 months post op I don't feel like I'm anywhere near to being able to return to my noel activites. The symptoms included a feeling of pressure in the area and a feeling of having a elastic band around my whole groin area. I also had on several occasions a grating sound (which was herd from an adjacent room) and extreme pain. I'm pretty threaders with all of this now and I want my life back!
I've also just found out that my mum has a quite bad metal allergy! Thought she might have mentioned that before the op!!
Sorry to whine about this but I'm fed up now!

[Spanielsal]

Oh Danny, I'm so sorry to read your last post, this is probably just a setback and you won't necessarily have inherited any metal allergy, but go and get it all checked out which will put your mind at rest. If there is a problem catching it early should make it easier to sort out, Mr Treacy will have the answers!  Good luck and will be thinking of you. Stay positive it will get better. X Sal

Danny, "extremem pain", "wierd feelings" "grating sounds", get it checked out mate.
You know it can take up to two years to fully heal, but still, you need to find out what's causing these symptoms.
Will be thinking of you.
All the best.

[Dannywayoflife]

Booked a private appointment on may 11

[hernanu]

Good Danny, no matter what, finding out the real deal is a good thing.

[Two4One]

Danny, That is rough.  I'm so glad you are seeing the surgeon on the 11th.  I'm hugging you in my thoughts and want you to have good solutions and complete healing.  We are all here for you.

Danny, How are things feeling now mate, any improvements?

[Dannywayoflife]

There's been no more crunching or grinding episodes but I still have the rubber band sensation. I think it may have been something to do with scar tissue or something similar but still going to get checked out.!

[hernanu]

I had a couple of weeks of that at about nine months, Danny. I wouldn't call it grinding, but a snap and twinges on my left hip (the first one) - it bothered me enough that I did go to the doctor, then it went away, no issues since. I think I had something that still needed to be opened up and it did.

Sometimes this stuff is like floating down a stream and you get snagged, have to release yourself and resume your trip, toes in the water.
