If you have hip fai, nothing will fix it besides surgery. Sure, you can exercise to get stronger but your body is then only going to build stronger compensatory patterns, which may cause you to fuck up your back, knee, etc..
I am recovering from my 2nd fai scope now and hope to rock again this summer.

Has anyone had a "Lateral" hip scope? My ortho. doc just told me about this guy DR. Sampson who performs a less invasive repair to Labral tears with a much shorter recovery time. http://www.hiparthroscopy.net/index.php

^^ My labral tear (and bone spur on my femur) was repaired arthroscopically by Dr. Coleman at HSS in NYC. Can't speak highly enough of the guy. I have two small incisions in the TFL region, and it was done as an outpatient treatment. No guarantees that it's the same method (pretty sure though). I was very happy with the results. Recovery was still a bit rocky for me, though. The doc was a bit surprised at how long it took me to recover, so I may have just been a bad patient. He couldn't fit me in the week I originally wanted, so I had it done on a Friday and still went to class on Monday. Managed to avoid missing classes, but I'm sure that prolonged my recovery time. I think he usually has being off crutches in 2 weeks, but I used them for about a month. A round of anti-inflammatories about 1 month in made life much better, and it was pretty exponential from that point on.
I was curious to read that the average labral tear takes 2 years to diagnose - thanks WNL for posting that. It took me 4 years before anyone believed it wasn't just my continuation of sports that kept me from heeling. But that statistic makes me feel slightly better about it."Alpine rock and steep, deep powder are what I seek, and I will always find solace there." - Bean Bowers

Long term updates from anyone with the surgery?
mysteryzombie - Especially interested in hearing why you chose Kelly over Philippon.
