FAI (Femoro-acetabular Impingement) & Karate

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

5 weeks on right hip

Can I run yet? Jump? OK. How about walk without crutches?  Not yet?  I feel like I am ready, and have been, to get rid of these crutches and get into a serious recovery schedule.  But the doctor says it takes 8 weeks for the bone to heal so I am waiting for a few more weeks.  At least I am doing more strengthening work at physical therapy.  The stretching is actually much more strenuous than the strengthening portion of the PT.  I feel like my left side is just not able to get flexible while I continue to put most of my weight on it all day.  I made a point of not doing much walking this weekend and I think that may have helped.
