- On June 17th I got hip arthroscopy for a labral tear and impingement and this is my experience and recovery story. Hopefully, this will be helpful for anyone thinking about getting the surgery or is preparing to get it soon. Women who workout should be aware of this type of injury because it happens slowly over time with squats. Follow my channel for more content on how this injury happens and how you can prevent it.

Can’t wait until my surgery gets scheduled. Keeps getting put on hold because of COVID.
Thanks for sharing your experience with FAI
I love this video you're hilarious and we share the same grammar and thoughts .. "They must've forgot my nerve blockers"...😂🤣. My surgery is the end of this month and I hope all goes well and this hip pain will be gone for good!
My 12-year old daughter just got scheduled for this surgery. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
This was super helpful! thank you for sharing
I have been in pain for 2 years, 3 doctors later they found I have a labral tear with a cyst wedging into it..... I had a steroid injection done under X-ray and it didn't do anything to the pain. So I go back next Wednesday to discuss further actions like surgery because this pain is excruciating!!!! Thank you for making this look smoothly as possible
this is me without the cyst. The shot has down nothing for me and the pain sucks. I am tired of the pain. would like to know how they proceed with your case.
Thanks for sharing your experience on your surgery, I’m having mine in about 2 weeks hoping for better range of motion and no more pain.
Did it work? I have in 2 months.
@@lizzy__brock did it work?
@@SRF-vm3fy no - have more problems now then prior. Been over a year and still doing PT and workouts and some days can’t walk as good. I don’t know if that’s always the case as it doesn’t seem it!
What did you do. How are you now please answer
Thank you for making this video. I'm it gives an idea of the process to people thay need to go through the same ❤
Thank you for sharing this; I am hopefully gonna have surgery soon, it's complicated because of COVID.
I was surprised you didn’t wear your brace, wearing the hip brace will give you more support. I just have done my surgery 3 days ago and so far I’ve using my hip brace and I’m doing excellent
Just got mine done! Im on week 2 and not as bad as I though. The most annoying part is not walking on two legs. Pain was very low for me. Dont be scared ppl! I had the epidural instead of anesthesia w tube down throat. Happy I did! I just had the L hip done. Also mine was a bit different.. I am off crutches at 3 wk. Started PT at 2-3 days. I had fmla and pto for 2-3 wks depending and that was their recommendation. Im not sure if you had the micro fracture repair that some had w fai. I will say that for pre op appt bring whoever will be your caretaker so they can listen again. You will def appreciate someone helping you atleeeeeast 5 days post op but Id say 1 week is best. Im so happy I did this and was very scared.
PS I did PT before while I had an injection but injection did not help 100% and didnt want to have to deal w more.
hey ! how are you feeling now ? how long did it take you to recover, and in hindsight, would you recommend it? thanks for any info :)
Hello, How are you now? Which inpingement had you Got?
I hope you see this...for my next surgery I want the epidural anesthesia. Im day 7 post op and can actually walk with out my walker now or crutches. I preferred the walker. Im at my moms recovering. Im still very tired and feel slow thinking still from the anesthesia. But i also stopped an adhd medication so my brain hasn't felt good for awhile. I waited 22 years for left cam impingement surgery.
I have surgery coming up in April, your videos have really been informative and helped ease some of my anxiety about surgery! Thank you for these :)
How’d it go?
hey ! how are you feeling now ? how long did it take you to recover, and in hindsight, would you recommend it? thanks for any info :)
Why dont answer?!
I just got surgery on my right hip today and I completely agree, the first few hours after I woke up were the worst!
hey ! how are you feeling now ? how long did it take you to recover, and in hindsight, would you recommend it? thanks for any info :)
Please answer
@@merdeaucul I would recommend it but make sure you do all your PT and get massages around the area so that you don’t build up scar tissue. I still have the pain but my doctor says it’s from built up scar tissue around the area 🙄
@@jrenee8303 what . Are You dont feel wery wel before surgery
How are you now? Are you happy you did it?
Can you tell me how much it was the operation my insurance doesn't want to pay it it's been denied like two times already I'm just praying so much pain thank you
My surgery is in 3 weeks. This was very helpful. There was no mention of the CPM but I had one when I had knee surgery and it was helpful. I will definitely ask
I loved my cpm after my knee replacement. It felt like I prevented muscle spasms and so helped me get full motion in the knee.
By chance what doctor did you see for this surgery?
I was told I woke up 5 min after it wore off. I was shaking and cold. Asking God to calm me down. No pain just felt horrible from anesthesia. Will nit get that again for my next hip surgery. Im day 7 and can walk on slowly and evenly. Idk if im a freak of nature or what lol. I had 2 pages of pics just like yours. But 2 pages full. He said he did a lot of work to my hip. I get the stitches out tue. I also have that machine. I find it annoying lol
Do you have hip dysplasia too? I’m afraid mine will tear again due to underlying dysplasia.
Anyone having hip labral tear problem in the UK. Still waiting for an appointment . How did yours go thorugh NHS? Thanks
Laid up right now from. Surgery today feel OK worried how bad will pain be In hip during recovery
Love the video day 3 for me!!
How is your hip now? I have to go at the end of this month and im not looking forward to it. Also I'm a full time dad with no one to help out lol. Should be fun.
I'm meeting with my surgeon on Sept 12 2023. I have osteoarthritis of my riggt hip and knee. After months of physical therapy, & injections my hip pain was & is still getting worse , finally had an mri to confirm what I already knew, torn hip labrum. I don't know if it will just be hip arthoscopy, or if they will decide on hip replacement because the arthritis but I am only 39 and am "too young" for a new hip. So who knows, but I can't take this pain anymore. Every single day for years of pain. I was in a bad accident in 2016, another less severe accident in 2018 & prior to that a lot of physical abuse from dv 2009-2012. So it's constant, idk when this happened but I'm excited for it to go away
Hi! I'm in the same exact situation and I'm curious which surgery you ended up having if you don't mind sharing. I'm 39, 40 in July, and I was also told I'm too young for hip replacement. I see my surgeon in 3 days to schedule surgery. These were the findings of my mri with injected dye.
Impression
1. Cortical bump involves the lateral femoral neck and head junction. This would predispose to cam-type femoral acetabular impingement.
2. Complex tearing involves the anterior and the superior lateral acetabular labrum.
3. Early/mild early osteoarthritic change right hip.
4. No fracture. No avascular necrosis.
5. Normal soft tissues about the right hip. No bursitis.
Also, thank you to the op for sharing this! So helpful😊
Would mind telling us how your surgeon knew for certain the Labral tear would rid you of your pain? Did you receive a diagnostic steriod injection in the joint space? MY MRI does show a labral tear of the left hip,, but there many people that have a labral tear on their MRI without any sort of pain. I wonder how can know for sure if it is a labral tear or the joint itself?
Lastly were was you have pain. Mine started in the hip flexors, then some times it would be low in the crease that I believe is the adductor or high up in the TFL region, that I now might be form not walking correctly, got a pretty bad limp on the left side and favor it when walking,
How your doing super and got back your active life
Thanks so very much
I think the pain is caused by an FAI, which can cause the tear and then irritate it, maybe if you don’t have the FAI, even if it’s torn there’s nothing irritating the tear?
Follow Dr. and PT everything will be fine I did this as well both hips had surgery 8 weeks apart. At 11 months I did sprints and now I have instability and groin pain got MRI 3 weeks ago Dr. said all looks good over the phone so I going to go see him tomorrow to get to the bottom of it . But b4 all the sprints I felt great .
how are you doin today? what caused that pain?
Did you get to the bottom of it. My doc said I would be able to do muay thai again after the surgery but this makes me wonder if I should risk it
How are you now? You have any problem
Please write
Hello, that cpm machine that you used. Did your doctor tell you it was mandatory?
Yes, the CPM machine was a very important part of the first week after surgery!
I’m having this surgery in 2 weeks, I’m a nursery nurse so I can’t work for about 3 months. I’m worried about the pain when I wake up 😢
I'm confused you just had surgery and rushing back to work, is that ok after 4 days?
Haha I work from home, but if I had to go to the office 4 days DEFINITELY wouldn’t have been enough lol. I couldn’t even sit down for 10 minutes without my leg getting numb.
I need my other hip done as well.
How is your first hip?
I had an arthroscopy done July 5, 2022 and they didn’t repair anything just yet because they first needed to find out what they had to fix and just make sure. October 7th is my big surgery where they will actually repair everything on my left hip. They said that they would have to open the site and actually dislocate my femur from the socket in order to fix everything and so that’s kinda scary and I’m only 16 so yeah
hey how did the operation go?
How was it?
Hi, how are you now? I hope you fine
@@notbrian4221 oh it went very well! I stayed in ICU for three days and got sent to another room for two more days and went home December 12, 2022. Oh I forgot to mention that my October 7th got rescheduled to December 6th 2022, because my mom got Covid (again) but no symptoms. My mom is fine and the surgery went well, I have a long scar on the side of my left hip and my bone has healed a lot and I’m 5 months post op almost 6 this coming June. I had to use a Walker and I couldn’t use my actual toilet for a long while and I had to wear a brace but I’ve been walking on two feet for almost two and a half months now and I finally started physical therapy three weeks ago and I have it every Tuesday. I should’ve started PT a long time ago but the papers never got accepted so I’m doing PT at my hospital instead! My PT nurse is quite lovely and she’s super nice with me and I’m proceeding slowly and carefully but I’m doing well! I’m walking good and the pain is tons better than before my surgery and my pain scale is like a 3 at most instead of a 8-9. I hope everyone is well and I’m doing well myself :) love you all! ❤️
@@kuntrasha it was good!
I'll be getting anthroscopy procedure for my right hip. I have a labrium tear and cyst. I'm nervous but excited and want it to be done ASAP.
me too. cyst and tear. I'm going in asap too. Googling this tonight has been "enlightening" lol
hi Jennifer - how did it go? hows recovery ?
@@merdeaucul I am unable to get that procedure done due to having bilateral hip dysplasia.
@@jenniferbonsey1969 ah sorry to hear... hope you can find a solution eventually :/
@@merdeaucul Me too. I'm going to be positive about it. I know everything will be oh so much better
Who was your doctor? I had my procedure yesterday and have the same equipment. I’m feeling really good and mobile.
What did you do this 2 years? How is your hip
Would you mind sharing how you are now?
Hi Megan I hope your surgery well. I have question for you, today is my 6th day since surgery I am experiencing some sharp pain and burning did that happen to you?
Hi! I got my left hip repaired about two weeks ago. I experienced similar pain when moving my hip outward on accident or i’d get it randomly sometimes in bed/getting in and out. In my experience l was prescribed medication to help ease any pain etc. I’d definitely call your surgeon/doctor and ask if you have any questions. :) Hope you have a speedy recovery!
did it go away?
How are you now???
I’ve surgery in 3 weeks for my hip labral tear
Did you have pain coming from glute and lower back as well?
How do you feel
I was wondering if anyone knows what it feels like to have two labral tears in both your hips? All of a sudden I started to have pain my lower abdomen. And now have problems with my legs shaking and sitting for too long.
Hi,
I believe I have labral tears in both hips. I’ve seen a standard MD a few months ago and she suspected I had a torn labrum in my left hip. She referred me to an orthopedic surgeon because she said physical therapy would not help with how severe my pain already was. I started using crutches around the beginning of October 2023. I had a loss of range of motion in my left leg and it is stuck bent at a certain angle at all times. I got put on a waiting list just to get evaluated by ortho. My first appointment is Feb 2. During these last 4 months, I have not been able to walk without crutches, or hold a job, and my pain has only increased. Some days it is so severe I’m just stuck screaming and waiting for the pain to stop. I have to rely on my right leg most of the time to walk or go up stairs. My right leg didn’t have a single issue until December at some point and it just gave out. It developed the same symptoms as my left hip, just not as severe, but still baring any weight causes both my hips so much pain every single day. I can’t stand longer than 20 minutes at a time and I dread sleeping at night because everything hurts, no matter what position I lye in. It don’t help much putting a pillow between my legs or under my knees. The only things that help my hip pain is using ice blocks throughout the day and using a hot tub/hot springs. Showering is also incredibly hard on my hips. I would recommend a shower chair as standing causes me too much pain for the length of my showers. I’m going to tell ortho that my right hip started mirroring the same symptoms as my left, and I will see what he says. I still need to get an mri. X-rays didn’t show anything.
You mentioned your lower abdomen developing pain and your legs shaking after sitting for too long. Last night while I was trying to sleep, my hips and legs could not get comfortable and my lower abdomen on my right side felt like the muscles were being pulled downward. It wasn’t painful, but it was noticeably uncomfortable. I too experience my legs shaking, but only while trying to sleep when I’m lying down. I think it’s the body trying to stretch out and get blood flow to those regions, but I could be wrong.
Having labral tears in both hips at the same time is a special kind of torture, and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I haven’t seen many videos of people with these injuries with more than mild to moderate pain. Perhaps my injuries are worse, because my pain is severe most days. Unfortunately I could not be seen sooner and had to go through with the waiting list.
Thanks I did end up getting the surgery on one of them, and it was a pretty big tear. And yeah it is a special kind of torture. It took them 7 months to figure out what was wrong. And a fair warning on his surgery. They say you'll be up and walking in 2 weeks, you need help for about a month. The surgery did help but it was like learning how to walk again. In 3 months before I could walk without pain in the left one. So keep that in mind, it does take long to recover. And if you have to take painkillers whatever to physical therapy exercises.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I’m getting surgery tmr and I’m so scared
How was it? Mine is next week
@@ghostisboi8810 mine went very well. I’m exactly one week post-op and I’ve had little to no pain. I also haven’t taken any meds since the day following surgery. The only thing that’s been bothering me is that I’ve had a lot of numbness in my thigh due to the nerve block. Other than that I’ve been great. I wish you the best of luck on your surgery!
@@rosacuccia3737 hi Rosa, did your thigh numbness go away? Mine never did and I’m a year and half out. Muscle weakness in that leg too.
@@Mereship not completely. Just around the incision is mainly where I’m still numb. I’m already back playing sports so no muscle weakness anymore. Wishing you well!
@@rosacuccia3737 thank you very much! Glad to hear you are doing better!
what are the symptoms you had ? I have pain in my glute area, side of my hip and also above the hip bone near my groin/oblique area when I press on it, leg weakness and it’s like a dull constant pain. And, a little pain in my groin when I externally and internally rotate many times, sharp pain deep in hip flexor/ groin. Also, how did you know you needed surgery.. because sometimes they say surgery isn’t successful for that tear and it’s actually another underlying issue.
One way to tell is to go to a sports medicine person who specializes in hips and shoulders. I had to get an mri with contrast and that showed a labral tear. As for the surgery, apparently if its in the hip it is most likely caused by the hip being misshapen. I have to get surgery soon bc im an athlete but if your not an athlete surgery isnt required and you can just do pt but it will never be healed without surgery.
@@anneke_yep2407 hi your answer very well. When is your labral surgery? I m not sportive but I feel not good. 39year. You think I will be surgery
@@umit777. i had it about 4 weeks ago. There was almost no pain for me other than side effects of anesthesia and pain killers. The side effects were really only dehydration, nausea and one instance of vomiting right after surgery but I’m just sensitive. If your hip is consistently bothering you then surgery at 39 should be fine. Moving around is really only difficult the first 2 weeks or less and I was able to drive within a week. I also highly recommend trying to find a surgeon who does this surgery frequently. You also don’t have to stay in the hospital overnight but definitely make sure someone is there with you to take you home because you will not be able to drive yourself back.
@@anneke_yep2407ank you for great answer. Are you spiral anestesy. And can you walking now?
@@umit777. yep. I could pretty much walk without crutches 2 weeks after, though your doctor will tell you how to treat your hip after that time. For example I shouldn’t go past 90 degrees with my hip until 6 weeks but that doesn’t change much, I can still drive and walk but just can’t pull my knees to my chest. When they do anesthesia for you, you really won’t remember much and honestly there isn’t much to worry about there. Its a very short procedure and I only have 4 little scars about 1 inch (2.54 cm) long.
Hi I have had this surgery has anyone ever experienced constant pain/tingling in their foot of the operated hip after? Not sure if this is caused by nerve damage or something else? I’m currently 3 weeks after my op and the symptoms are still as bad in my foot and calf as they were day 1
I had my right hip arthroscopy( labral tear repair with FAI) on May 31/2023. I am also experience of pain on foot while standing, not sure if this is ok, will ask my doc in 5 wk.
How are you now
@@umit777. Hi, that’s me a lot better in my foot and calf, i went back to the doctor who did my operation and he said it was to do with the boot being too tight on a nerve in my calf during the operation and that the pain should go away. It has now but I’m still recovering and have groin pain and hip pain in certain movements
@@krisholmes6317I hope you don't mind me asking if you've gotten better? My Ortho told me it will take me 6 months after operation to be better. It looks like you're done with 3 already.
and How are you now, Megan?
Hi what did you do, have labral surgery
Was that a general anesthesia???
Hi bro what did you do
what happened that you needed this surgery ? How did u damage hips ? u look so young ? And did u try physical therapy first ?
I can't speak to her specifically but impingement (mentioned in the description) is when the bone is formed improperly on the femoral head, the acetabulum, or both.
It's believed that most people have these deformities from birth, but heavy use can cause labral tears and other issues (like for me, I have numerous fractured bits from both sides having extra bone growth and smashing jntk each other, so loose bone pieces in the joint plus a tear)
Most insurances do require PT before they'll consider surgery.
You can read more about it here: www.google.com/amp/s/www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/hip-impingement%3famp=true
Hi! I Have the same problem , did you do any exercises before surgery?thanks a lot.
Age has nothing to do with injuries. Children can have hip labral tears.
@@raquelgarcia2652 yes i did PT for 4 months before surgery
Hey quick question. Did you have just a labrum tear repair or did you also have an impingement Wich they shaved the bone down ?
I had both!
@@azsakamoto4582how are you now
I just got my surgery yesterday. And my leg still numb from nerve block . How long this thing go away?
did it go away?
Hey what did you do. How are you now
Please write
How long until you could use stairs?
It was about 3 weeks until I could go up and down comfortably using just the railing!
@@meganmorelli9519 did you had hip bursit?
Do you have to wear a brace?
My doctor said I really don’t need one unless I go back to work in the office. Since I’m just working from home I’m fine without a brace!
Thank you! How long were you on crutches?
So far it’s been 3.5 weeks since my surgery and I’ve been able to walk short distances without crutches! So I’m hoping by 4-5 weeks I won’t need them at all
my hip labral repair is in 2 days. I am so nervous 😩.
Hi what did you do. How are you now
Please write me
Yeah pain meds make you feel wide awake, that's part of the high. You feel wide awake like you're on a warm summer day with wind blowing in your face, and you can just enjoy your thoughts. They're extremely insidious and don't make you feel messed up until you do a really large dose, it's why people don't take it seriously and get addicted.
Oh, i only took 1 pain med at the hospital, then was taking my meloxicam, thinking it was pain meds. So out of it from anesthesia. I still feel slow in my brain. Pray for me. Ya so i never took any pain meds. I made the mistake of getting more iv fluid and Ibwas up every30 min emptying my bladder on a fresh surgery no pain meds. Lol no wonder im still tired.
How are you now
@umit777. i see my surgeon tomorrow. But im still tired...im doing steps and glute bridges. One month post op
@umit777. my surgeon said im ahead of schedule. I got 2 new PT exercises. Gaining strength in the left glute and before surgery it seems impossible. Im still really tired not getting the sleep inwant. My 3 year old wakes me up. So considering I guess im doing well.
@@aprilhassell1747 laydy l dont understand your how is your hip. You Have an inflammation ? Or you have any pain in your labrum? Surgery is worth it
@umit777. so far it seems worth the surgery. But im not even 2 months post op
satellite things are lights
I am having labral repair and gluteal tendon repair. No weight bearing for 6 weeks. And I am 63. This young woman had it easy. Ah, youth.
Omg how on earth were you able to cross your legs pre surgery in waiting room? Did you not have excruciating pain???
