It has only been 7 weeks so it is a bit messy in there. Healing continues for months.<br /><br />Dr. Mayo gives these restrictions to everyone because doing these things puts extra stress on the hip joint. The goal of PAO is to preserve the hip, so you want to minimize activities that put stress on the hip afterwards. Some patients choose to do some of these things after PAO - such as running or yoga - but it's just Dr. Mayo's opinion that those who do risk having a hip replacement sooner.<br /><br />He may be more strict with me because I am older than most PAO patients. If you are young and in good shape you may not have the same restrictions. <br /><br />In my case, I can live without stairmaster, running and yoga. I may occasionally hit a lunge or squat position when skating, but I will certainly be aware of my limitations and try to be careful. That's how I plan to deal with these restrictions and keep my hip healthy for as long as possible.

Wh...Wow, that's a big improvement in coverage!<br /><br />What's going on with that part that looks shattered, on the inside of the pelvic ring an inch or so to the right of your femoral head? Is that a byproduct of the PAO? If so, is it common for that to happen? Is that why you're not supposed to lunge, etc?<br /><br />MattMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12039625637536629697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788754421446417718.post-25204665868615821742009-08-25T21:59:11.396-07:002009-08-25T21:59:11.396-07:00You are amazing, and I am very proud of you.

With all the restrictions placed on you, now you have been reduced to one of us mere mortals who try hard, but could never skate as well as you did. But knowing you I wouldn't be surprised if after your next procedure and recovery you prove to the world that you will son be as good as you have always been, if not better. in the meantime, who gives a ^&*$ that you shouldn't jump, squat, or do certain lifts and spins. that is not what ice dancing is all about! ,,,KianooshKianooshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676934995732020186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788754421446417718.post-66442425339544719022009-08-25T17:47:21.595-07:002009-08-25T17:47:21.595-07:00You are doing AWESOME I am scheduled for my left P...You are doing AWESOME I am scheduled for my left PAO September 24th I am nervous and sooo ready at the same time I really dont know what to expect but your blog has helped me prepare myself ALOT.
