[QUOTE=âcaoimhaoin, post: 939724, member: 273â]Take all your own advice. But learning some Glute activation exercises to do before match may get you working mechanically better.
Day before game
⢠Eat really well
⢠good mobility & flexibility session. Start with foam roll, then stretch everything(musts are hip Flexors, spinal erectors an hammys), then a small mobility workout
Day of game
⢠Foam Roll
⢠Glue activation
⢠team warm up
⢠game
⢠team stretch
⢠Foam roll
⢠stretch again 30 secs +
⢠buckets of water, protein shake, and a nice big white bread and turkey salad sandwich> get blood sugars up, start repairing body asap is the point of this.
⢠loads of sleep
Day after a game
⢠morning foam roll
⢠evening jog & stretch. Maybe 8-10 x 100M jogs with a walk back.
⢠Water water water
⢠good sleep again.[/QUOTE]

If you substitute âday on the beerâ for âgameâ this advice is also very useful and no less valid

No problem with the beer part (I recommend staying under 4/5 pints), but loads of water first and donât drink beer till after you have had a proper piss.
Iâm not ignoring strength work, which is critical, but Iâd have to test you for that. Core stability work important, and squats and lunges if you are at a decent level important as well. Ankle and hip mobility are crucial to stable knees though. Get some progressive exercises from Physio (make the cunts work for their money) and you will prolong te enjoymet of playing.
Iâve been very lucky with injuries before now in my stellar business and sporting career but Iâm off to visit my hip consultant/surgeon soon.
What is the protocol for these surgeon visits? Will he quickly read the various scan and xray reports and make a recommendation there and then as to whether surgery is required or not? And if so then his preferred type?
Will I have to in turn decide on the spot whether to go ahead with surgery if thatâs his recommendation? Iâm very nervous at the moment, chaps.

Iâm all for finding humour in even the most bleak situations but thatâs unforgivable, @Julio Geordio. Iâm scared and I wonât have my Mam or Dad with my at the consultant visit. Please help, anyone.
Bring @artfoley along. At least if the news is bad from the surgeon you can look at Art and be grateful that as bad as things may be, thereâs always some less fortunate than you.

As the foremost user of orthopaedic and medical services on the forum, Iâll take this.
If you havenât had an MRI done yet, you most likely will be sent for one. This can delay matters by a few weeks. Also he will want up to date X rays. If all these are in place he will pop the images up on the screen and invite you to consider the scale of the damage/degeneration to the affected area. Although you, reasonably, wonât have a breeze at what you are looking at, you will nod in agreement.
He will then outline the nature of the surgery, before moving on to outline the risks, infection, clots, thrombosis etc. He will say something like âalthough only one in twenty people get complications from the surgery, that one person is not just a statistic, itâs a person just like yourselfâ. At this point he will then ask you what you think. Can you stick the pain for another while or do you want to proceed with the surgery? Or maybe you might try this external device which will make you look like a polio child for a while? Not sure? Maybe think about it for a few months. Make an appointment with Maureen to see me in three months and you can settle up with her for today as well.
He will definitely recommend a second appointment, bro so you wonât have to make any rash decisions there and then. I do think @Rocko should go with you though as previously suggested.

Surgeon will never tell u to have surgery for risk of being sued should be fuck up. U will have to make that decision.

Splendid, pal. I have my MRI scan and xray results on disc along with the accompanying report confirming I have femoroacetabular impingement and other damage.
I also have a letter prepared by my physio outlining how he thinks my hip strength, flexibility, general movement has improved considerably with treatment and rehab exercises and his recommendation that surgery should be a last resort.
Surely a surgeon would treat the advice of a physio with disdain though? Wouldnât that be like @artfoley offering advice to someone with actual legal qualifications?

Depends on what advice i was offering. Obviously with no legal qualifications i couldnt offer legal advice. So it would very much depend on the advice sought and given
