Patience for patients

Well I just got my second PRP injection yesterday. Painful as it was before but this time I was ready for it mentally so it's not so bad. I had been training jiu jitsu and swimming the two weeks before that and while towards the end, there was some hip pain, the sharp stabbing pain has not returned. So I'd have to say that's some progress. I already have my third PRP scheduled for early June and even if I'm feeling really good then, I'll still go ahead and get it, just to be sure.

Now I haven't been pushing myself like I did before although I've rethought quite a bit about my reasons behind some of the weight training etc I was doing and I'm comfortable with cutting most of that out of my life permanently.

I may still need the surgery and will get it scheduled with Dr Byrd's office in July, but PRP has helped. I'm amazed at how few people know about it, especially in the FAI world but if I get a better measure of success I will do whatever I can to change that.
