One of the reasons why I've stayed away from surgery is the fact that I have yet to find a success story. I honestly felt that it was just not the solution. However, I just came across a blog (http://mysistersfaisurgery.blogspot.com), that documents one girls recovery. It's pretty detailed and shows how he fairs with pt and stuff. ...It seems that she flew to Vail to see the top fai surgeon and then spent some time there rehabbing. She took a lot of time, but it seems that a year after the operation she is doing great. I don't know if I could take off that much time, one of the perks of being a high school student.
Anyways, I know people, like me, are looking for FAI surgery success stories, and after finding one I thought I should share.

Thanks for this. Any news on how Jodi is getting on since her setback?
Not really. I do know she's been busy with the kids and summer vacation, generally living her life. So she's not bedridden. However I know that she can't stand on sand without being in immense pain, same with high heels or running.
Oh man, that's not good. I posted back on her story part of your blog a while back (the 28yo police officer) and am still pretty messed up myself. I'm not bedridden, but I can't stand, sit or walk without pain... Much worse than before for sure at 14 weeks out.
Think you really have done the right thing, as nothing i worth the pain, grief and existential terror (the first thing I've ever come up against in life that I can't beat and have no control over, really hard for a type A) this has brought. In hindsight, unless I was barely able to walk, I wouldn't touch the surgery with a 10 foot barge pole! Hope your strategy continues to work out for you...D
Thanks man, really am sorry to hear about your situation. The main reason I'm continuing with this blog is to get the word out that surgery is not the only answer to FAI and torn labrums.
Hope you find something that will help, really do.
