    Ratings help hips and back

    Thank you all so much. I have over 561 pages of documented crap on this. lol But it isn't going to stop me from getting more documentation. I will start keeping a journal as well. It's been a rough couple of years and I'm seriously just tired of fighting to remain positive every day.

    Anyone know the wait time for Hip Surgery at Lejeune?

    Praying for you! I truly hope you get to feeling better soon. I know this is just a temporary fix. My surgeon said I'll be off this leg for at least 4 weeks. You take it easy!!

    Anyone know the wait time for Hip Surgery at Lejeune?

    My surgery is officially scheduled for June 15th. I am really just praying that I can get back to a somewhat normal life. Zeppy, how bad was the FAI and labral tears in your left hip? How long did you get for convalescent leave? I hope you feel better soon!

    Anyone know the wait time for Hip Surgery at Lejeune?

    I have Dr. Kuhn...everything I've heard and read about him is great. I'm pretty happy and relieved to know that I'm getting the surgery. I'm tired of being in constant pain... I know it might not fix it but I'm praying it helps.

    I just got approved to get my surgery today and I have an appointment with the anesthesiologist tomorrow so I can get scheduled. I'm just wondering how long it will actually take to get me in the OR. Anyone have any experience there?

    FAI W/ Labral Tears Post-op

    Good to know! I have the FAI with labrum tears in both hips but my L5 at my S1 is also jacked up. Every time I go into medical I get hit with more bad news so lord knows where I'll be once they finally give me the boot. Ohhh the pains of getting older... everything starts falling apart. lol
