So today i went to a Surgeon assistant who did some physical exams and after many questions i need to have PAO surgery which is what i was guessing so i know now whats ahead of me and that is a real relief. I am starting PT on 6/28 to strengthen my upper and lower body to prepare for surgery and we are on a weight loss plan to lose 40 lbs by November 1st which is the earliest time i can take the time off. I'm waiting for the surgeon now to call me back on when to come and see him. Overall good news because now i have an answer. Surgery will fix it. My surgeon, John Clark, has been doing this surgery for 30 years and is regarded as the best in this area. Which is also a relief. I also now have sacroiliac joint pain caused by my walking because of pain in my hip so now i have grinding and impingement along with sciatic pain. SI joint and sciatic pain will ease with movement and getting stronger and also i am joining a pool nearby because that is the only exercise i can do right now and the only one i haven't tried yet. Hopefully the weightless movement will help a lot. Whew so many words for what seemed like not too much time lol
Now its time to read some more blogs and get all the best ideas and keep track so I can have all the tips and pointers. I now have the name of the surgery I will be having, the name of the surgeon who will be doing it. Now I need to do the preparation for the surgery. I will post any helpful info i find and anything else that comes up :D
