Recovery & Swimming After Hip Arthroscopy

Have any of you had hip arthroscopy? If so, I would be interested in hearing your experience post-op. I would like your suggestions on how to keep fit before I am allowed to return to the pool, and I am interested to hear what your return to swimming was like after recovery. My surgery (psoas release and possible labral tear) is scheduled for December 17, and I was told it would probably be three weeks before I am allowed to return to swimming (no kicking allowed), 3-4 months before I can return to full swimming, and 5 months before I can return to competition. How does this compare to your experience? Thanks!

  • Thanks so much for getting me in touch with Hailey. We talked on the phone, and she gave me a lot of helpful information. Thanks, Fly Trap! Yeah, I have a feeling my frog days are over for a long time. :toohurt: Once a frog,always a frog,even if you can't swim like one(hopefully just for awhile.) I am sure recovering will be challenging,but I have faith in you.
