I had groin pain crop up about 12 years ago and x rays showed some spurring and a subchondral cyst in the head of the femur (old ski trauma?). I still had joint space (i.e. cartilage. The orthopod told me to stop playing tennis (knowing that I wouldn't). I did stop running for much for almost ten years relying on my bike and not much else for aerobics. I am now back to running and am training for runs, du's and, ultimately, tri's (my swimming sucks). My point is that I had pretty bad and persistent groin (hip) pain but over the years it dissipated. I saw the orthopod last summer and he told me to do what I wanted to do and, if anything, my joint space looked better than before. My point is that you may or may not have a labral tear and it may or may not be anything that requires surgery. You may at some point need the dreaded "layoff" from running for awhile to let inflammation settle down. I really like your podcast (as well as the Tri Chat spinoff). Yours is one of the better ones. I appreciate your incisive remarks about the manipulation of healthcare. The rest of my story includes sudden cardiac death on a tennis court two years ago. Lucky for me, a cardiologist was playing for the other team. He and another doc who happened to be in the house administered world class cpr for over 12 minutes until the rescue squad arrived to shock me back to life. There are more details on my blog.http://rickstrongcafe.blogspot.com/ Again, Thank you for an inspiring and educational approach to the sport.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162893844628149215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769302896850694084.post-61220992475290096362011-05-07T22:38:01.696-07:002011-05-07T22:38:01.696-07:00Just oming back from my evening run, the cold wate...Just oming back from my evening run, the cold water on your feet looks like a great idea!
