Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 The xrays that were taken for my 6 weeks follow-up showed that my pelvis was sitting much higher on my left side (resurfaced side). Since then I've paid attention to my gait to see how I might be " favoring " that side. The gait I slowly adopted because of the pain is still the gait I will slip back into if I'm not paying attention. Before the op, my muscles were in extreme distress and some of them had " forgotten " how to do their jobs. The psoas muscle was chief among the non-functioning muscles. Anyway, I've gone back to my chiropractor to get my spine/hips back into alignment. This is an enormous help with the lower back pain I've been having. Poor alignment very well might be the culprit in the wearing away of cartilege of my left hip -- much the way front tires will wear if the front end of the car is out of alignment. Must be some truth to that since my right hip has no cartilege wear at all. Joyce (Dr Gross, LHR, 2/04) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
