Welcome

Welcome to my hip blog! My name is Stacey and I just turned the big 3-0 last week. Unfortunately I didn't get to rock it out the way I normally would have but still had a great birthday with all my friends!  So much has changed for me in the past year...I just got diagnosed with mixed FAI, labral tear, and acetabular retroversion in my left hip.  I also have impingement in my right hip...still need to get an MRA and complete diagnosis on that side.  Up until August, I thought I had a low back injury and suffered from sciatica. After being told that my symptoms didn't match up with my lumbar MRI, I began my hip journey.

I am still learning about what I have been diagnosed with and trying to play catch up since I had been focusing on back issues for so long.

I  am hoping that my experiences will in some way help others.
