Hi Karen,
I'm 18 and I had arthroscopic surgery to repair a labral tear mid may of this year. While operating, my surgeon discovered that he needed to shave down the femur bone (not sure of the correct medical term). I am just now beginning to notice some obvious improvement in my previous activities (besides the obvious of getting to walk again, endurance, etc.). To be honest, the recovery was really rough. It seemed like things were getting worse rather than better, which was very discouraging. It took a lot of time and effort, but I'm feeling much better and more confident in my everyday actions. So just have some patience and try to muster up an optimistic attitude! Youll be better soon enough :)
I sent you a private message.
