The news in brief

Since my LPAO I've quite a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, and had even been told by one physio that I have Hip Impingement.  But recent events have led me to want to pick up on this blog again, and re-post some older entries.  Here is a brief overview of what's happened:

• Went to see a new young adult hip surgeon in Birmingham
• 'Re-diagnosed' with Bilateral Hip Dysplasia
• He thinks I need to have an osteotomy on my right hip
• Also said about my LPAO "I wouldn't have done it like that" hmmm...
• Apparently there's "no anterior wall" of the acetabulum either side (but surely he could just be tilting the CT image a bit?)
• He said I shouldn't really be running when my hip is like this (oops!)
• MRI scan scheduled
• Tried to come off the Naproxen a week after the 10k run and I'm in pain, I can't sit without this pinching feeling in my inner thigh/joint line and the dull ache right inside the joint keeps coming back.

Unfortunately I was so shocked I walked out of the building with the MRI referral still in my hand, and didn't realise until I'd arrived home.  I cried most of the way back home on the train.  I still can't quite believe this is real.  It's like I've been diagnosed all over again (which I have been really).  Being told another osteotomy is likely is not a nice feeling, however much it may fix the problem.
