Hiiiiii!
Quick little update. I'm currently in Chicago for my 6 months follow up with Dr. Nho. I'm seeing him on Tuesday, and PT on Monday. One of my friends recently told me "omg, you must be so excited to be signed off from your surgeon!!" but I highly doubt that this will be my last appointment. I'm still dealing with some pain, especially with prolonged work days. Sports have been pretty good (I'm still restricted from plyo/cutting), usually only causing fatigue during the activity, and slight pain right after. Ice and rest makes it go away within the day. My issue is more when I shoot weddings, which are 10-12, sometimes 14 hour days. Halfway through the day, my hip starts feeling tired, and I start compensating. By the end, every step is painful...not a sharp, stabbing pain, but a dull, throbbing pain deep in the joint. My PT says he believes it's simply lack of endurance, and that it should get better the more I shoot, and also reinforce through training. I sure hope he's right. Yesterday, I walked through the city all day long. Health app says 10km! And boy, did I feel it. Halfway throughout the day, I took some Tylenol, which slightly took the pain down a notch, but that only last an hour and half or so. When I got back to my room, I immediately took some Norco, as my pain was a solid 6/10. Luckily, the Norco kicked in 20 minutes later, and I finally found some relief. Good news it that I'm feeling better today. I'll most definitely take it slower today. I have to remind myself I can't run around like a normal person. Still have to respect my limitations. Anyway, today I'm going on a Frank Lloyd Wright tour, I'm pretty excited! I'm Ubering it as I'm not sure it's 100% safe going that direction by train/bus. I'll keep you posted on how things go in the next few days! xoxo

AuthorMy name is Marie-Christine. I'm 34 years old and live in Montreal, QC, Canada. I have had two failed hip scopes on my right hip to do undiagnosed hip dysplasia. My amazing surgeon, who is in Quebec City, performed periacetabular osteotomy in November 2017. He also did one left hip scope (non dysplastic) in February 2017. Archives
