Christy 12 week Post Op hip update

So I did my 12 week check up with Dr. Herzka today. Not good news I am afraid, but at least she could tell me something. First I found out my tear was 1-1 1/2 cm long/ wide? It took 4 anchors to anchor it back in place. They also shaved the ball as well as the socket, oh and I found out that I had a cyst or blister on the cartilege next to my tear. (Now I know to ask very specific questions and keep asking until they are answered.!!!!)


So now I have to go have a cortisone shot in my hip socket to help relieve some of my pain. Followed by 3 weeks of PT with a specialist who helps with soft tissue. Dr. Herzka thinks that I have a big band of scar tissue that has formed. That is connected from the hip flexor to the labrum. If the cortisone shot and specialized PT don't work then it sounds like I have to have more surgery. She said she would have to go in and cut/ or loosen the scar tissue. Which is fairly easy, but they have to get into where it's at- which is pretty much like the original arthoscopy!!! Really hoping and crossing my fingers that the shot and PT work. I don't really want to have to start over!!
