Looks like I'm going to have to go under the knife(again).
Well I've been having some hip trouble here lately so I got into see an orthopaedic for it today. Says I have a hip impingent and a labral tear. I had basically destroyed my femur back in 01 in a car wreck, and he said this all goes back to that accident. The 1st rod they put in back in 01 broke at 11 months so in 02 they replaced it with an oversized and did a bone past graph to fill in the voids in my femur. The head of my femur didn't heal back correctly and has been cutting away at the cartilage and soft tissue in my hip, and now they want to go in and do a reconstruction of it essentially to shave the bone down, repair the cartilage, and try to clean and repair the soft tissue. So it looks like Christmas break for my wife will be taking care of me and our son as the doc says I will be on crutches for a minimum of 4 weeks. FUN FUN FUN. this one is my hip in 03, and the 2nd one is of it today. The pics aren't very good, but it didn't look good in person comparing them.

Oh man, Ferm I hope they can do right for you. Is a total hip replacement not possible for you?
My Mom has had both of hers done and she is way overweight ( 9 kids) and it still got her around for over twenty years.

Hope you get it built right this time Ferm. I know a few people who have had hip replacements and they are doing really well.

The doctor that put me back together the first time back in 01 said by the time I was 30 I would need a full hip, I'm almost 33 so I guess I've gotten my use out of it. The one I seen today would rather do a repair of my joint because once you go down the road of an artificial you can have a lot more bone problems down the road. I'm going to make a call tomorrow and see if I can get a 2nd opinion on it before I agree to let them do a repair because the X-ray from today looks to me like the actual ball is worn down and not just cartilage damage. All's I know is it FRIGGEN hurts to walk, and I won't even mention what it is like to try and crawl on the floor with an 11 month old.

Ferm, I have never been injured like that so I have nothing to compare it to, but if it's any consolation I feel really bad for you. I hope they get it fixed so you can live a normal, pain free life with your wife and baby. Good luck with the 2nd opinion..hope it works out for you. Prayers sent.

I'm no doctor, but I play one on wellcraftv20.com and based on those xrays, I'd say you are going to need an Addadicktome. And real soon!!!!!
Now go take a pain killer and wash it down with a glass of JD on ice and check with me tomorrow about payment for my professional (sort of) advice. In all seriousness Ferm, good luck with that. I hope they're able to fix that and relieve your pain. I can somewhat relate with my knee pains that I've been living with for the last several years. After having one replacement done which still isn't right and now they what to re-do that one plus the other knee, I'm apprehensive to say the least. But either way I'm in pain every day and it really sucks. So I feel for you and hope that you find relief.

Serious stuff Ferman. Wish you well. That has got to be a painful ordeal. I suffer from back pain but am scared to undergo the knife. Best wishes and keep us posted.
