Done With Golf for a While

[Bearetta]

Confirmed two torn hip labrums.
Arthroscopic Surgery to be set for the first asap.
Pain and muscle tightness is at a pretty high level currently.
Doc response was to keep walking and stretching.
I held my tongue.
I was very disappointed in her response for present pain management.
I will have to seek a different alternative.

4-6 weeks on crutches. 2-6 months for rehab and then do the next hip.
So 2-3 months on crutches. 4-12 months for rehab.
I may not see the bass boat much and definitely won’t see the golf course until fully recovered.
I may have overdone the golf with some 4 and 5 days in a row golf this year.
I was pain free most all year until October.

2021 may be worse than 2020 for me.
Enjoy your golf while you can!

I'll be praying for you for successful surgeries and a quick recovery.

Update: Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Extreme pain in joints and muscles.
My shoulders, back, hips, knees, thighs and calves all have had extreme stiffness and pain for 7 weeks.
Steroids.
24 hours and wow, most all stiffness gone and 75%of pain.
48 hours and reduced dosage, still wow.
I can be me and do MOST all of the things I have not been able to do for the last 7 weeks, except golf and fish.
But most importantly I have hope that this pain is temporary and treatable-something I did not have 3 days ago.
I have been blessed with answered prayers to God.
Thank you for yours on my behalf.
I am looking forward to my surgery and recovery now.
May all of you have a special day today!

Good luck with the surgery. You will be swinging and casting before you know it!

Know I over did, knee got to be horrible. Finally got a steroid shot, which killed off most of the pain. Been good for about 4 months.

Get better!
