The pain in my right hip started in January of this year (2016) and progressively worsened each month leading up to my surgery in mid September. Dr. Sculco recommended non surgical treatment hoping that would help subside the pain. Unfortunately nothing worked so we decided it was time for surgery. I wanted to try and enjoy my summer so I committed myself to a plan that we came up with which included both physical therapy and exercise. I became very focused and diligent in to working as hard as possible to aqua therapy (pool therapy) 3 times a week and going to the gym 2-3 times week as well. I worked on all of the surrounding muscles to the hip in addition to a lot of core building. I pushed through the pain knowing surgery would eventually relieve the pain. The first day after surgery I have complete relief and was able to walk almost completely unaided. It was an amazing feeling. Fast forward 5 weeks and I was back in the gym and feel amazing! My experience at HSS was stellar. I wish all doctors were as committed to caring for their patients as Dr. Sculco is. He is truly cares about the well being of his patients. His staff and the hospital staff are second to none! Thank you to everyone there for taking of me!
