Wait, what? How did I miss that?Quote:

Blueberry, I hope things are going well for you :)
That's a real bummer. Heal up well!
Just to repeat: MP broke her scapula some years back. I'm not sure why this thread got dredged, but MP's fine now (at least I'm pretty sure).
Yes - as Jo and others noted, this is an OLD thread. My scapula (while still technically broken) has healed up just fine in the past 5 years. Thanks a lot for the well wishes, though!
God forbid. I try to avoid it.Quote:

Thanks - it was bad, but nowhere near as bad as it would have been if the joint had been affected, which it really wasn't. My father-in-law-in-law (father of sister in law's husband) is an orthopedic surgeon and he is amazed at how my range of motion is just about perfect.Quote:

The general gist is that I've left my prior career (as a lawyer) and am in my 2nd semester of pre-medical classes. I hope to matriculate in medical school in the fall of 2015 (1 more year of classes, MCAT, applications). There are a lot of reasons, and I spent a long time debating whether I was too old to start 10+ years of school/residency/etc. But - the decision came down to wanting to do something I'm passionate about for the rest of my life that I believe will be meaningful in a more concrete way than what I did in law ever could. I didn't know how much I missed science until I got back in it - so far, 1000% the right decision for me:) There you have it!
Now....hopefully poor MP can stop being reminded of what I'm sure must have been a g-d-awful injury. ;)
I'm just so excited for you, Blueberry. You know I get it. So now maybe I can live vicariously through you. ;)
(Although I have found a way to make law fulfilling for me even though I really doubted that would ever happen.)
So... you guys want to hear about the hole in my hip bone?? :D
How did you manage that? Yikes! Do tell :)Quote:

My bike fitter suggested I get it checked out to be sure there wasn't anything wrong, so I went to my orthopedic doc and had an X ray and exam. That revealed a "tumor" inside the hip bone (head of the femur), so he ordered a MRI and I waited around til I could do that, googling bone cancer and all that all the while. MRI showed no "bad" tumor, I have impingement of my hip bone such that the pelvis has worn a hole in the femur and the surrounding cartilage. Doc wants to try to avoid surgery because in his description, any hip surgery is "heroic". So I did some bike fit tweaks, and watching how I move it and will do some PT.Quote:

(((MP))). That sounds awful (although I'm very relieved it's not cancer)! I hope the rest and PT help!
Sending warm hugs and thoughts MP, SO glad it isn't cancer!
+1 - hugs and healing thoughts, but very glad it isn't leukemia, ITP or any of the other things I usually think of them drilling a hole in your hipbone for...
