Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 The Other Girl is me. Susie represented my story pretty well. If you're English, are you in England? If so, you're soooooo lucky. You're in the ground zero of hip resurfacing! There are more protrusio patients on this site all the time. I hope to get the leg length discrepancy sorted out with my next op. I was surfed Nov. 2001 and still, occasionally, get new muscle aches & pains on the done side as I push for more and more flexibility (which I achieve). Of course, this improvement occurs contemporaneously with increased deterioration of the other side, so my advice is to try and go for a bilateral if you think you can stand it. Just insist on having your legs measured pre-op and discuss the leg length issue with your doc then so you know what to expect post op. Added benefit for the otto pelvis patients: Post op, with exercise, your saddle bags will DISAPPEAR. You can finally stretch those muscles that were dormant for decades due to defective hinges.

Susie here...As you can see I'm still agressively pursuing protrusio contacts! I'm glad I didn't misrepresent you! I do plan to call you for a long chat...I have been in the process of a nervous breakdown lately and have secluded myself from live dialogue. I'm recovering from my daughters big move to Lausanne, Switzerland...she's a new college grad...Dad wasn't for the move...tension, tension, tension...So glad you're still keeping an eye on me and Jill too!
