eeewwwww

I can discern the future by reading the colors of knee infection pus, much like others read tea leaves and chicken bones.

Say it ain’t so cuz I don’t want to in the same generation as him.

Well suck it up buddy boy. You and me are the generation of slackers.

Thats what I read most folks had to deal with. What year was it?

2015

I am four weeks out and recovery has went well. I think I"ll probably return back to work in a week and a half. I don't think there is a good time to return. When I set without any elevation the knee gets pretty sore within a few hours. So for the first four to six weeks I'll probably just need to deal with the pain. It seems that my flexibility is plenty good enough to get back to work. Just have to figure out how to sleep and then work through the pain/stiffness issues at work.

Glad you’re doing well, Bretsky. Hope you fully recover.

I’ll trade you my burger flipping job for your office job. Feel a clicking in my left hip when high kicking due to an enlarged ball or socket or something. Pain is not so bad that I can’t work, although I did quit the second job. Some days are better than others. Doc I saw (not a hip specialist) doesn’t think it’s arthritis, but condition probably won’t go away without arthroscopic surgery.

Reading some of the unfortunate stuff here is scaring me a bit regarding surgery, maybe even moreso than the enormous surgical and rehabilitation expenses I’ll incur if I go the surgery route.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but anyone has experience with hip surgery or arthroscopic surgery? Football players have arthroscopic surgeries all the time without problems, right?

Not sure Tank. I have hip pain, I run two or three times a week and it kills me sometimes. I haven't hit up the orthopedist yet. For what it's worth in my later 50's. Hurts but it hasn't killed me.

You need to see an ortho.

There are horror stories, but I've had both shoulders and a knee worked on. No probs, but the best knee and shoulder guy in the Central Valley.

I had some left hip pain, too much commute time. Strengthening the glutei medius really helped:

Good luck.

Get well, and hopefully your hip is nothing serious. I tired to jog on the treadmill a few weeks after the hip problem started, assuming it was just a groin strain. Painful afterward, and haven't jogged since. Consequently, I'm getting fat, although working out only 2 days a week and eating shit might also be causing the weight gain.

I did meet with an orthopedist that my PCP referred. Put me back 300 or 400 frogskins. Suggested 3-6 weeks of physical therapy. Had a session of PT with a therapist, then got billed $400, and decided to do therapy on my own, with a little help from the experts on YouTube. Just got referred to another ortho.

Will check out your clip. Thanks.

Look on the bright side, it ain't gonna get any better. Me, its my lower back if I'm misaligned during squats or deadlifts. And at my age (mid 60's), it takes frickin forever for the pain finally go away. And my vision sucks, these damn 'floaters' driving me nuts, my prostate probably the size of the football the Packers use in practice, and I have to take frickin pills to have sex, I know, too much information. I just view all this as the long slow process of dying.

Anyway, hope you get better and have a nice day.

Thanks for the fair warning. Guess I better quit watching aphrodisiac vids and start enjoying life before the impotency sets in. Porn appears to have destroyed my ability to chat with chicks, and I haven't gotten laid since some orange ape in Washington, DC shut down backpage.com.

That last line was legitimately funny.

To hell with Bretsky for never acknowledging the caring and informative post I made for him.
