One Year On

Yep, a whole year today since my FAI surgery!  How do I feel?…GREAT!  I am so pleased I had it done.  I am nearly 27 weeks into my pregnancy and my hip hasn’t bothered me at all.  I have been taking pregnancy yoga classes and do find some of the positions uncomfortable so avoid those and do the wussy option instead.

Hoping things continue to be pain-free, am a little nervous about giving birth and the position my hip will have to be in for goodness knows how long as that ‘open’ position is still quite uncomfortable.  It seems now I have great internal rotation, but external is worse, I’m guessing it’s scar tissue.

The pelvic/SIJ pain comes and goes.  It is most definitely activity related and I wonder how much of it is due to the biomechanics of my pelvis as well.  I’ve now dropped down to working four days a week until I finish up in five weeks to give myself a rest day in the middle of the week.  Struggling with big dogs and bending now as I’ve suddenly popped out the front!
