2012-01-02 – ?

Grade: 4

Tried to run Easter - made things worse mentally and physically.
MRI late April, diagnosed labrum year.
Complete rest.
Weaned off anti-inflammatories by mid May.
First specialist sent for an x ray diagnosed arthritis and prescribed lying on couch to wait for hip replacement. Suggested swimming,asked if I had ever considered riding a bike around the park...
Second specialist diagnosed a second tear - a form of delamination of the cartilage in the acetabular. Can do arthroscopy, no guarantees regarding outcome other than I will not return to previous activities.
