I got a response to the email I sent to my OS. He was at a meeting with my PT and they were discussing my unfortunate turn of events. He first wants me to get an MRI...this will be my 5th MRI in 3 years...did I mention I am claustrophobic??
All I keep thinking is that this is not going the way I had hoped...at 14 weeks post op, I am not supposed to be having MRI's, or depressing email conversations with my OS...what went wrong???? Why is this happenning????

You will have tied my MRI total! But BK doesn't make you get arthrograms with them too, does he...
I wish I had something encouraging to say but am a little worried I'll be headed down a similar path at some point in the not-so distant future.
Megan, I am always doing something "ground breaking"!! No, no arthrogram, but the possibility of prolotherapy....ugh!
I had an arthroscopic labral repair that has been a total nightmare. After 5 months, I am miserable. I was told that I would be back to work in 3 to 6 monts. I do not know if I will ever walk normally again. I went to a different surgeon. He says that if physical therapy does not work, then my only other option is a hip replacement. I do not want this so I am trying to endure the pt. My advice to anyone considerint this surgery is not to do it. It cost me a lot of money, and it made me feel worse than before the surgery. Worse yet, the radiologist that originally read my MRI misread the MRI and said that I had a small anterior tear, and it turned out to be a large posterior tear. Four surgeons and the radiologist read it wrong. It makes me wonder if doctors can read MRIs at all. I have had a few surgeries in my life, but this has been the most miserable one ever. I wish I would have had hip replacement or open hip surgery instead.
