Time to stop reading

My comprehensive literature search is over. Understanding of my condition based on the objective radiological data, my symptoms and what is known about treatment for FAI was discussed with my primary orthropod last week.

I still need a CT of my pelvis and AP radiograph to better assess the degree of hip dysplasia. This will determine whether a peri- acetabular osteotomy will be needed. Regardless my surgery date is set for January.

This week has been my best week so far. The pain has decreased, and I have started walking up to 1/2 mile. It seems like improvement. Now that my surgery appointment is on the books, gaging my progress and pain seems different.
