Ok - so almost 7 years later - what is my status?
All has gone fine and the only time I ever feel a light pain is after long hiking treks (+5 hrs. with lots of elevation), but this quickly subsides afterwards. Other than that, nothing!
Just thought I'd let you all know :-)
Greetings, I'm still subbed to the thread - lol.
As for me, thankfully, I don't appear to have any symptoms. My activities are not restrained. Last year I was trekking in the Himalayas with a 16kg pack and didn't notice any pain although I was later overcome with altitude sickness and had to descend prematurely before reaching Everest Base Camp.
The only negative is I'm sure my affected leg is shorter than it was before. Also, the repair has changed the shape of the hip joint because it feels different to the other side. Thankfully though there are no symptoms. Maybe the leg differential is psychosomatic as the affected leg is naturally shorter.
Anyway, I'm looking to return to Nepal for some more trekking.
If you still have pain, you just need to keep stretching - glute stretches and front thight stretches...all combined with general stretches for the rest of the body.
Good luck.
