Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Hi Donna, I'm still hoping to make a trip to LA in late April and hit tennis with you. Hope your ulcer is getting much better. Take care and let's stay in touch. Saeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 Lynda, It doesn't matter whether you're a 1.0 or a 10.0 player- the name of the game is fun and exercise. As I told you before, I am thrilled to be walking without pain or even thinking about my walking as I did before my surgery. Being able to play a sport again is a bonus, but walking freely is really the gift. I hope you will achieve the same. Saeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 , Good to hear that you are also doing very well and playing lots of tennis. I wonder if the New Zealand player had an extreme case of OA or as you say poor recovery. I wonder also about the surgeon's experience.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 I was on a tennis course here in England last week. The director of tennis at this centre is a New Zealander who was once world ranked at about 120 (I believe). When I last attended (two years ago) he was really suffering with his hips and I talked to him about resurfacing. Since then he has had two BHRs implanted (in Eastbourne). He is happy to be out of pain, but his mobility is really not good and he has quite a pronounced limp. He does not seem to have had much help with this - I urged him to get physiotherapy. He did not seem to have been told much - had hardly seen the surgeon who operated on him. BTW - My hip coped well with around 6 hours of tennis per day - rather better than the rest of me! Vale Rt.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 I was curious who the tennis pro was? My name is Teacher and I played on the tennis tour from 76-86 and I'm sure if you mention who it was that I know him. My left hop is shot and I am considering the resurface.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Hey . Welcome to the group. ( is the pro I was talking about who's interested in resurfacing). I knew you'd be concerned about the pro from New Zealand, . I don't know his name yet, although Simpson was the only pro I personally knew from NZ. Anyway, I asked Vale who this guy's doc was and it was not any of the big three: McMinn, Treacy, or DeSmet. That is a very big factor in the outcome of this procedure, . Please don't be discouraged by this pro's results. and Saeed are tennis players who can also share their experiences and outcomes with you. Happy Hunting and I'll talk to you soon.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 I'll be darn , and I thought that I am the only ex-pro with a bad hip. I did talk to Wheaton, but his problems were (are) a bit different. I played professionally a bit, before playing college, and a couple of years after college. Just minor league level (satellites). If you live in LA area you can visit a " big shot " there at the Joint clinic...can't think of his name, but a quick search will lead you to his web site. Good luck. Miren in Clemson Re: Tennis Hey .

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Hi , My name is Saeed and I met you in LA years ago. I am a long time and close friend of Burr and Fred Silvers. I'm also a friend of Donna Kei who I advised in her decision to go to Dr DeSmet. I had both hips done simultaneously last July 2nd and I was hitting balls in September and I'm playing hard sets right now. I'm a big promoter of Dr DeSmet (over 600 surgeries) but as this board will attess, there are many happy resurfers from Dr Mont, Gross, s, and others. Best of luck in your search.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Miren, I went to the JRI clinic In LA , However I would prefer if I get it done to go to the Docs with the most experience. It looks like McMinn, Tracey AND DeSmet . Also it seems like Gross has had some good sucess. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 I should stand corrected. Maybe the JRI clinic has had alot of experience in resurfacing. If someovne has had resurfacing there please post. It does appear that some doctors in Europe have been doing it longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
