Subject: RE: Hip Laberal Tear? I'm new the Tri scene but had surgery in 2010 (age 23 ) to correct a tear in my Laberum and reshape the CAM/Pincer (FAI both types ) with a few anchors in there for good measure.
It depends entirely on the recovery and how you treat yourself afterwards. When I go for my longer runs (12-13 miles ) I sometimes get some discomfort during recovery but with a good recovery program then I've never felt it's held me back but I would imagine it varies from person to person.
I had to give up a lot of the things I enjoyed doing as I couldn't handle to lateral movements very well (Football/soccer, martial arts, tennis etc ) however I'm really enjoying the training for triathlon because it doesn't involve a huge amount of side to side motion which usually causes my pain.
I don't know what level you race at, but I'm optimistic about your chances of running again unless the damage prior to the tear was too bad. What has your doctor said? Given that you've had a CAM resection, is any training good for you until recovery? I was off all weight bearing for 6 weeks post operation and 3 months total rehab for the leg muscles.
Hope that gives you a little confidence, but it won't be a short term fix or you may cause yourself some long term problems. Take it slow! |
