Hello! I know I’m a little late to these videos but I just wanted to say how much your stories really mean to me right now! I’m currently 18 and I’ve been having pain in my right hip for a few years and it was determined by my doctor multiple times that it was bursitis in my hip. I went through weeks and weeks of physical therapy (which made it worse) only to be referred to the only hip specialist in my state who told me I have dysplasia. I recently made the decision to have the PAO surgery in the summer and I’m terrified! I’ve never had any surgery or anything before! But watching your honesty about your experience has given me hope that everything is going to be alright! Thank you!
Katie Hassel I’m so glad you found this helpful, exactly the reason why I made them! It is a scary experience, but it is so worth it and it is only temporary. Once you’ve had it done, it can only start to get better. Good luck x
Would love if you did another video sometime. Want to know how you've been. Also I'm worried because you mentioned you already had osteoarthritis in your right hip when you had your first PAO. I was told if I had OA already that I can't have PAO, I would need total replacement at that point.
I’m having this surgery in a few weeks. Thank you for these videos, it has really helped me a lot to know what to expect. I’d love to know what your long term results have been now that it’s been some years? Are you able to walk for long periods without pain and back to normal? Thank you!
I just came across these videos and I am so glad I did! I have had 2 arthroscopies on my right hip in the past two years, and now I am in the pre-op cycle for the PAO with PT and cortisone injections. It is so frustrating knowing that there will be another surgery in the coming future. Watching these videos have helped to start thinking about what this recovery process could be like since it will be so different from the past 2. The first was from 2 different impingements and a torn labrum and the second from a torn ligament and to decide if the PAO was necessary. It is helpful to hear others recovery stories since this isn't the most common thing to find. It is so hard to try and talk with my friends about it since there are so many emotions that come with all the recovery.
Alexis Velazquez I’m glad you found these videos, my aim was to kind of reach out and have a platform for other people experiencing similar things. I hope you got some answers or reassurance for your future. Anytime you have questions or want to vent, you’re welcome, best place to find me is on Instagram @jesshall587
Dang you had 2 of these surgeries? I found out today I’m probably going to have to get this as well as an arthroscopy in my right hip. I watched your other video and when you mentioned an epidural I almost passed out. I was okay with the surgery itself but I didn’t think about needing an epidural, that wasn’t something my doctor mentioned. And I didn’t think about someone needing to change my clothes for me. My poor mother. She offered to come help me, and I don’t think she realizes just how much she’s in store for. 😫 also I live on a 3rd floor apartment with no elevator sooooooooooooooo idk. And I have a dog.... so I’m gonna have to learn how to walk him with crutches.
Kayla Totts if you want you can send me a message on instagram with any questions or concerns and I’ll happily answer and maybe relieve some of your worries @journey_with_je.ss
So thankful you've covered everything so thoroughly in your videos, I was really scared to have mine done. I'm two days out of hospital now (8 days post surgery) and I really cant sleep or get comfortable. Do you have any tips on best positions to lay/sit in? It just feels like I've gone from one kind of pain to another with zero benefits at the moment. I can hardly sleep, and getting up to even go to the loo is alot of effort.
Hadassah Friedl I’m lad you found my videos! The beginning is rough, I’m not going to lie, but it gets better! Just take it day by day, hour by hour if you have to. Sometimes you just won’t be comfortable, so just stick to the things that are least uncomfortable. I hope you’re recovering well.
hi, i know that you posted this video a long time ago. but my name is krystle plumadore and i’m 18 years old. i was diagnosed with hip dysplacia and femoroacetubular impingement on february 8th 2019 after 4 years or more of pain. i did physical therapy for three months as the doctors told me and that didn’t really help all that much. and now the option of surgery is most likely going to be on the table. so i was wondering if you still had pain in the long run after yours? would you say it helped a lot? and in your point of view and your experience, do you think i should do the surgery? i would love for you to back to me on this. i don’t know anyone with this and nobody i’ve reaches out to on youtube or insta has answered. thank you!
krystle plumadore I can’t tell you whether to have surgery or not, because I’m not an expert and it’s also a very personal decision. But for me personally I would 100% go through the experience again, it was really tough, I’d say one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, but the outcome was worth it. I rarely have pain anymore, if I do get pain it’s either because I’ve over done it or am doing something I probably shouldn’t be, or it’s because I’ve never been able to do it before so my muscles just are used to it yet. I really was in chronic pain everyday, I could barely walk 100m without pain, and that was practically all day, every day. Now I only have pain for short periods of time, every now and then. My doctor told me that there is a big chance that I will still have some pain, so I expected to have some sometimes, which I do but it was honestly life changing. If you considered what it is we have then it’s understandable that we aren’t going to always be 100% pain free and we aren’t always going to be able to do everything we want to, but if I can do and be pain free 98% then I’m happy. I hope that answers some questions you had x
Jess Hall thank you so much for this! it really means a lot! i tried to reach out to this other girl and she blocked me for no reason at all! so i’m very grateful for this response, your videos and you being so inspirational in general. thank you!
