Today is the 1 year anniversary of surgery on my right hip. I can honestly say that I don't even notice it anymore. The stretches i have been doing for the tendonitis in my left hip have helped a lot and I was able to avoid an ultrasound guided cortisone shot. I am now having thigh muscle soreness that goes from the middle of my thigh around the outer hip. I am not sure if this is from the tendonitis, but I have a feeling it's from the Heterotopic Ossification ( HO). HO develops when some of the stem cells from the bone that is trimmed land in the muscle and bone starts to form in the muscle. Dr Hip hasn't given me any treatment yet, just a follow up xray at the beginning of january to see if the HO has advanced. So now I will just continue with stretches and PT and hope that my normal walking will return.

Today I have no groin pain and I am not limping when I walk. This is the best christmas present I've ever had! The soreness in my thigh remains though, especially after activity. I also walked to the mailbox today and back and since I live on a mountain, this was an accomplishment! I haven't done that in a very long time!
