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!

The link above is a recap of my previous post. Moody, it was great seeing you there, even if it was for a brief greeting at the blocks!
Yesterday, I had my surgery, and the doctor said it was a success. :applaud: There was indeed a labral tear and a lot of inflammation in the labrum, so he did a repair in addition to the psoas tendon release.
I feel fine when I don't move my leg and hip, but trying to walk on :toohurt:is excrutiatingly painful. Thankfully, I have a rolling office chair and hard flooring throughout our house, so I'm scooting around quite well! Now, if I can just figure out how to walk on my crutches without having to move or lift my right leg, I can get to the gym and use the SciFit machine for an arm spin. :dunno:
