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!

  • How are you doing Elaine? By the time you read this it will be 2015 a new year for you & all of us to have a better year!!! I beat you to it; we're not there yet! Thanks so much for checking in; I appreciate your concern. :agree: It seems like my recovery is going better than what I was told to expect, so I'm a happy camper! :ohyeah: The pain has been less than expected; I took far less than the Oxycodone I was prescribed. I'm now just taking Aleve and doing just fine with an ice pack if I start feeling a little sore. On Friday, I get my stitches out and get to return to the pool (no kicking). :bliss: Happy New Year, Orca! :party2:
