Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Alan, Just to answer your questions; " Questions from for Lari and Tom... what were your pre-op diagnoses, and the reason for the resurfs? Is the pain now different from the pain pre-op? Is the pain worse than what you experienced pre-op? " I had osteoarthritis of the right hip. The post -op pain is pretty much the same as pre-op, except now I have to deal with the insicion/sore muscles from the operation " For Tom, you're from San Francisco. I'm in the Bay Area, too. Where did you go for the resurf? Your surgeon's name is not familiar from the LA clinic. " I had Dr Mont in Baltimore do it. Tom in San Fran.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Tom... I'm sorry you don't have much joy -- or improvement -- to show for all you've been through. Curious what made you go to Baltimore for the operation when there's a facility in LA that does resurfacing. Also curious about your level of physical activity or conditioning pre-op. Were you active, and cannot now be? I ask because I'm trying to get some real life idea of what my life would be like if I had to leave handball in my past. I know life's a crapshoot on these things, but I'd like to know the kind of dice I'm throwing. I've got end-stage OA of the left hip, the result of an althetic injury I managed to " play through " for nearly 8 years. No mas. It hurts too much now and the joint is too unstable to handle the lateral torque. I hope your pain passes soon. Uncontrolled it is draining thing. All the best...
