FAI (Femoro-acetabular Impingement) & Karate

My personal experience with FAI and what you should know about this condition

3 weeks and feeling better all the time!

Day 22: Today marked 3 weeks from when I had surgery on my left hip.  Last Thursday, the doctor told me that I could have my right hip done as early as the beginning of February. I am currently checking schedules (doctor’s and mine) to see what might work best. The way things have been going, I feel like I could have the right hip done in a couple weeks and be in great shape within a couple months.  I worked out a little at a gym yesterday, including stationary biking, water walking and swimming, and a little upper-body exercise.  Today, I went through some new and more challenging exercises with the physical therapist.  I believe I started some of the week 5 material today.  At least I know I’ve done almost all the week 4 exercises already… I am planning to teach karate tomorrow, go to the gym on Wednesday and then return to physical therapy on Thursday.  I felt like I was still limping very noticeably this morning when I arrived at work.  But now I feel like my limp is almost completely gone.
