Reply 2 fellow FVFGer-has pain 1 1/2 yrs post op
Hip and groin area pain...sounds like what I felt before the FVFG. I asked about that pin and if it did work its way out (which they told me is exteremly rare and doesn't "come out"...it may move a small bit)it would be an outpatient appt and it is a nothing operation...so they described. They say that getting the FVFG does not guarantee all pain will be gone yet it could still be successful. Who knows...one day at a time and life will be good. :)
As for pain, I haven't had any pain (knock on wood) since the epidural had a kink and no pain meds were in my system post op. That is the last pain I can remember...maybe I blocked all other pain out...who knows, but I will never forget that pain! ;) I was pretty bad myself with a stage 4b no collapse but anytime it was going to. Everyone is so different ... there is a chance they don't get all the dead bone out before the graft is put in...therefore the AVN progresses...sometimes there is a small dot of AVN in a different location that may have not been detected because it was before a 0 stage...sometimes those with 30% recover slower than a person with 80%. It is really hard to say since there are so many variables in our lives. I do know exercise produces blood flow but check with your doc before any exercise. The pool is real good for me since its is not weight bearing unless I make it be (shallow end of pool).
Also, like both of us said, they say that some pain may not be 100% back to NO pain at all. Infact it sounded like that would be the exception to the rule.
Some have had a THR already, some are going to have it, some have limited pain and some no pain at all.
I am doing fine, normal activities yes, I am not suppossed to run or rollerblade or any impact exercise...which I am ok with. I used to rollerblade ALOT but a good trade to be able to walk. I can look back at all the things I "did" do pre-AVN and I am thankful...I did ALOT and I am fortunate that I can say that I did certain activities. Some people aren't as fortunate. I walk the stadium, up and down the stairs, back and forth making sure I say hello to my friends at the park.
