Touch wood hern mines just something similar. Although my noise was definatly a crunching grinding sound the wife would attest to that. But when I've had deep massage on scar tissue from other injurys in the past that's been a crunchy sound when it's broken up

Wishing you the best outcome Danny. I think this is a temporary setback.

Thanks moe I really appreciate it. I don't think it's anything catastrophic anymore but I'm getting Mr Treacy to check me over anyway. 

Well today is 25 weeks. Since my symptoms just over a week ago ive been fine. I am still however having some ''pressure'' feelings in the area. But i am still going to see Mr Treacy next friday just to be on the safe side! I am back trying to do some light cv on my spinning bike as well as some strengthening stuff

S'all good, Danny - get things checked, they are there for the purpose of making and keeping you well. They probably miss you anyways  :)

Probably something (scar tissue?) let go and the hip is just sorting itself out now. 25 weeks ... wow that would make it 6 months + (I'm an engineer, so I can do the calculation  8) ) and you my friend are into the "I'm beginning to forget my hip is metal" phase.

I'm not aware that my hip is metal anymore but there's still some soft tissue things that need to heal. I'm beginning to think that I don't heal as fast as others do.

Very cool that you're in that mode.

I think we're all healing at different rates, it may also be that since you had about a months lag for real healing to start, you're slightly deferred; also since you have a larger muscle mass to deal with, the scar tissue may be just working itself loose.

Hopefully thats what ill be told next friday! Im so looking forward to feeling 100% again it seems so long ago that i was in tip top shape

Well after having no symptoms for the last week today I woke up and my hip just felt strained. As the day went on I got this feeling of pressue in the groin. It feels exactly the same as when i had the arthrogram when they injected 25ml into my hip joint! Im glad im seeing Mr Treacy on friday!!

I'm on the slow heal train too, Danny, but knock wood some more that's all it is for you.  Good Luck this coming Friday!

Although, whatever you do just don't listen to that song "Friday" by Rebecca Black and strain your unsuspecting ears ::)!

Had to pop by to wish you luck on Friday- am sure all will be well and your mind will be put at ease again :)
Know I`m a slow healer too! Heavy rain sure doesn`t help either for walking!

Good luck mate. Hope all goes well and Treacy puts your mind at ease.

Thanks guys I'm actually sat in the waiting room at Harborne road. I think that I've just had a bad bout of bursitis. Or some other soft tissue problem but touch wood I'll know shortly.

Well im now back home. The consult with Mr Treacy and Christine went really well! But was a bit weird as I was saying that I didnt think I was doing well because of zyx......And he couldnt of been happier! He showed me on my Xrays that infact in terms of Bone healing and ingrowth im well ahead of where he expects to see patients @6months! :).No sign of any movement or femoral neck thinning etc. Also he said that my ROM (although less than it has been thanks to the bursitis) was better than most patients at 12 months and i should expect to see improvements for the next 12 months or so in that department.

He couldnt explain the crunching grinding episodes that I had but did say he has seen a handful of patients with the same and it had never been linked to anything detrimental. He did say that i had a bit of bursitis and that my soft tissues were still ''angry'' and that some soft tissue issues were very common and transitory. He did also remark that because i had significantly more soft tissue than most that said soft tissue problems would be more likely and more symptomatic in me. >:( But he did say that on the balance of the xray and my ROM that he thought that my BHR was one of his best ones!! :) Coming from him that means a hell of a lot!!!!!!!!!
He told me to remain patient and great things were in my future!
He also said that because my Bone had healed far faster than normal I could start introducing impact to my work outs as i saw fit! He said he normally like people to wait 12 months but since my bone was fully grown into the cup that only mega high impact stuff IE road running were off limits and that i could start that in another 12 weeks or so!(Looks like my calcium suplements are paying off!)
Danny

Glad it went well for you mate, he's the man eh. :)

Yep he certainly is the MAN!!!!!!

Man, Danny - all good (except for the soft tissue stuff). Sounds like you're on the way to your reward. Sucks about the soft tissue, but patience and you'll be all good.

So pleased, thanks for posting all in info too- helps all of us.

Bilat,
       Thanks so much. It kinda made me realise that it's a long process getting back to "normal" I knew that already but think I'd forgotten!  :) love your avitar by the way!

Hip Hip Hooray!!

Soft tissue is a real pain in the, well, you know. :-[  Your info is really applicable to my 'growing pains' as well.  Thanks for sharing; I find it very reassuring!
