For those of you who have recently asked what my PAO scar looks like now, at 18months post op, here are a few pics. The first one also shows the top of my FO scar from childhood surgeries. The horizontal part of the PAO scar measures around 6-7cms, and the vertical part around 4 cms. I think its pretty small compared to most PAOs.

More surgeries.
Finally have a date for my steroid injection and screw removal-21st December!! Woohoo!
When I see him for this surgery am really hoping my surgeon will agree to a PAO, or whatever he suggests, on the left hip early next year as that one has deteriorated rapidly over the last few weeks.So hopefully this fourth procedure in 3 years will be the last (for a while) on the right hip, and then the story can start all over agin for the left.
Oh joy.
