It made my walking better 100%! For 6 years I dragged my leg to walk and couldn't lift it on my own when I was lying on my back or stomach. I immediately noticed a difference with being able to lift my leg up to walk instead of dragging it. I don't run because those 6 years exacerbated FAI on my opposite side, so I'm back to waiting for help with that. I didn't know I had FAI, but the pain in my left buttock was not from FAI so I'm glad I had the surgery not knowing about my hips or else I would have waited until I could get hip surgery where I live. I would have been completely disabled by then and in a much darker place than I was already in.
I had my surgery done by Dr. Tim Tollestrup in Nevada. I hope you can get relief soon.
Thank you for sharing my story again. So many of us go through this when doctors don't have any other answer for us.
It's even worse when they know you have mental health struggles because they chalk it up to that instead of an actual medical problem that causes deterioration over the years.
