[QUOTE=āDirty Hands Walter, post: 981404, member: 9ā]Back with the surgeon today following the MRI arthogram earlier this week. He recommends the keyhole surgery so Iām weighing up my options. Heād repair/remove the torn hip cartilage and shave some of the bone so the ball and socket would knit together as intended in the future.
Itād be a general anaesthetic 1.5 hour operation, overnight stay, minimum 4 weeks on crutches, same time off work and then 3-4 months physio/rehab. Thinking of pencilling in surgery for mid-September so Iām not laid up for Wexfordās march to All Ireland senior hurling glory.[/QUOTE]
While the Wexford dream has died, Iām booked in for hip surgery in September.
I made the call despite being somewhat unnerved by lots of testimonials on different forums.
Iām guessing the silent majority were happy with surgery and itās those who didnāt find any improvement post-operation that take to railing against it online.
Iām now fully clear that Iāll be fucked for weeks after it and Iāll have to work hard to recover properly.
Iām also continuing to put in the work before surgery in order to have a better chance of a smoother recovery. Iāll be quitting alcohol from 8th August until after my operation too.
My wonderful mother is adamant that I must recuperate in Wexford initially. Sheāll help me put on my socks and clean my balls.

All the best DHW, Im sure youāll come back as well as Liam Ć³g did, if not betterā¦
Underage star who once scored all his teams points in a county final back to full fitness after a couple of years of struggling with injury? This will be very hard for Liam Dunne to ignore.
What would be the best, easy to get pain killer to get you through a game?
Playing or watching, pal?
Grab one of your nuts in one hand mate. Squeeze like fuckā¦
That will distract you from the injury for a good 10 minutes. Resqueeze when needed.
talk to the man with the Mr. Nice avatar. You wonāt be great on the auld motivation front though
Some thoroughly unhelpful advice here thus far
I donāt want to say too muchā¦
Ice the fuck out of it every night between now and then- Take nurefon to bring down inflamation also- Your best bet is to warm up well- destroy it with deep heat. If it can be strapped do soā¦ If itās your groin, it would be best to rest it- damage here could set you back months.
Iām absolutely broke up this morning.
Did you get a suitable drug?
Nuerofen Plus. But canāt walk this morning. My groin is fucked. Also took and dished out a sick amount of digs. Most violent game ive played in years.
