my journey with femoral acetabular impingement

C an't believe I am 15 weeks post hip scope! One step forward, two steps back, is basically how this recovery has gone for me. I saw Dr. Wong on Monday, and he reassured me that it's okay I am still having pain at this point in my recovery. He said that my hip fatigues very easily and that's okay.  Some days are better than others, but the pain has been a huge concern for me at this point, so I am relieved to know that it's okay.

I have accepted the fact that it will likely be a full year before I am fully recovered, and this is just a moment in time.  I am looking forward to being able to do my workouts and go for a run, pain free! As for now, I will continue with physiotherapy  and pool therapy to keep regaining strength in my leg and work out some issues with some pain that doesn't seem to want to resolve itself in a timely manner.  Unfortunately, over the past couple of months I have noticed quite a bit of pain in my left hip. The nagging, aching pain in the groin and front of my hip is similar to the pain I had in my right hip before my surgery. I have also noticed some sharp pains in my groin occasionally and it makes a strange clicking/grinding noise similar to my right hip. This ha...
