Hey. Congrats on the 1/2! I am getting PAO surgery in Seattle in a few weeks. I discovered the problem because I was limping after running, mtn biking etc. I take allieve each day and that manages the pain. But I already walk with a small limp. Did you have a limp pre-surgery? How long did it take for it to go away post surgery? How long before you were walking with no assistance, crutches, cane etc ? Thanks.

MY PAO STORY said...

Yes I had a limp rep surgery. I don't think I have one now.... but others may disagree!! It was awhile after surgery before I walked normal..... I think I was walking unassisted by week 10?? It is in previous posts about when I switched to one crutch and then a cane.... not sure of exact times! I did do things early... I was using a cane when my doc told me I could go to one crutch!
I have done 2 1/2 marathons since the PAO... this last one I had to walk 1/2 of it due to an injury I got during a 10 mile run... IT band syndrome.... in knee.

Hi. I wanted to let you know that your story has inspired me so much! I have had hip pain for 8 years now and found out that I had hip dysplasia after getting a stress fracture in my hip while training for a marathon. I was told by some doctors that I could never run again and by others that its possible but not the best idea. To see that you have had the same surgery that I'm having in May 2012 and can now run 1/2 marathons, it really brings my hopes up. Thank you for writing this blog and I hope to run a 1/2 marathon with you in the future! ~Mary Lynn
