On 21st December, 19 months post PAO, I had my metalwork removed and a steroid injection for inflammation of the psoas. Surgery went really well, and recovery was very easy. I stayed in the hospital overnight, due to the distance we had to travel home, but was up walking unaided as soon as I was taken to the ward. The next day I managed to walk from the hospital to the train station (normally about a 20min walk) although was pretty slow and needed a coffee stop on the way.
After a couple of days all post-op soreness was gone and I was walking as normal. Incision is only a couple of cms and glued not stitched.
At the same time Mr Witt reviewed my other hip, and agreed ,once he has double checked my scans, to book my LPAO -so it looks like as righties journey comes to an end, around 2 years later lefties will begin.
