    Actually I had total hip replacement due to AVN at 32 and I feel his issue is more psychological. He needs to accept a few lifestyle adjustments. I love your channel and you should have a disclaimer for people with medical issues in the beginning.

    Wow.. what I have taken from this A) don't go down the medication trail and B) work it out for yourself and trust that exercise is the answer. I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis L hip at 71. As a nurse (45+ years) I know that surgery will only be a last resort for me. Pilates, yoga and some appropriate gym exercises and some 2 years of being consistent and listening to my body is working for me. I no longer limp, take no medication and only have minimal pain/stiffness.....am glad to hear of Troy's persistence and improvement. Love Upright Health's approach.

    Anyone with joint pain/mobility issues should watch this video. Bottom line is to become your own advocate, be fully informed. I have been journeying with hip pain that became acute earlier this year and could write a book on everything I've learned and the many things I have done to improve my quality of life. Journeying includes NOT following the lemmings off the cliff. I recently tried an online PT program through my medical insurance. It soon became clear that this PT environment is strongly tied to traditional/Western medicine. When the conversation turned to considering an ortho, I left the program. The PT program mindset was mentally debilitating for me. I found Upright Health earlier this year and have been following Matt, his philosophies and exercises. This following has been the singular most beneficial influence in my recovery.

Thank you, Matt, and for all these wonderful videos. You are a God send!!! Surgery is scheduled for two weeks from now and I am determined to regain my life through exercises that help me address the atrophy in my right hip and not hip surgery.

    I am nearly 70 and have been advised to have a double hip replacement but like many I have lost faith in the way doctors go about their business. I have been a regular gym attendee in the past and recently have done weekly exercise classes for older people as well as a lot of stretching at home. However the lockdowns interfered with my routine and I think that is why I started deteriorating in my walking and ending up with a lot of hip pain. I agree it's best to self manage your exercise and stretching routine ( with a great deal of help from sites like yours ) so thankyou for confirming my idea.

    What a great interview. What really resonated with me was when Troy said " the bones don't move themselves" so true. We sure need to keep the support system in place. I'm 70 now and have dodged several surgeries. It seems that all surgeons are expert surgery sales people and I've seen so many others struggle so much afterwards. I've come up with a plan to imagine that I've had the surgery and then do the post op regime. It seems to work just as good. Of course some people may be better off with the operation but I think most just need to put the effort in ahead of time. Thanks for the reminder and best wishes for your recovery Troy

    Thank you! I stopped modern medicine 10 years ago after terrible experiences and some damage. 69 years old. A long term med that I was told I would never be able to get off of, left me with heart failure. Im off of it. I don’t do pharmaceuticals. No cardio dr. ever brought up exercise or diet. It was surgery this and surgery that. I may be odd, but surgery seems like a violent response in health care. Cut, gouge, etc. I care for myself by myself. Research and a natural protocol is all I do for anything. If I have a bone shattering accident, I’ll be in a hospital. But I get that modern medicine is first a HUGE business, driven by profit, doctors are businessmen. And the second response, after profit, is technology. I’m an organic being. I need a response that my body doesn’t have to fight. Or that causes more damage down the line.

    I only started listening to this but I have to say . As a woman, who had a traumatic birth that left me with arthritis in the pubic symphysis, I always thought my issues were related to pelvic floor dysfunction and long labor that left "things damaged". It took a really, really long time for me to end up finding out it was a hip issue! Initially, my pelvic floor PT thought I had overly tight pelvic floor muscles but that was just a consequence of the FAI. This is so important to remember if you're a woman. I recently purchased the FAI fix program and I'm working with my local PT (who is amazing) hoping my life isn't over and I can do sports again. I thought I was the only person in the world with this type of groin pain so whenever I hear such stories I want to cry ;). Thanks Matt!!

    Curious if your groin pain is like mine. I have a near constant dull ache about where my left ovary is but ct scan, 2 ultrasounds, endoscopy and colonoscopy all show nothing is wrong. I haven't had an mri yet but I also have lower back pain and tightness from the lower back to the "bad" left hip. The lower left abdomen pain comes and goes, varies in intensity, and doesn't seem connected to diet or movement. It just appears and disappears at will. I also have bladder pressure on the left side but urologist said I was fine. I am in so much pain and very frustrated!

    OMG! I am so glad I found this honest, informative video. I am due to have hip surgery for osteoarthritis but I want to explore everything prior to going under the knife. I have always had no glute muscles so having Troy confirm that the surgery will not benefit me is very useful. I am at the same stage Troy was at whereby both my hips have osteoarthritis and I am due to have another MRI because my left shoulder, arm I have been told is arthritic, I thought I was having a stroke! I definitely need to move more and activate my mind muscle connection. I am willing to do anything to avoid surgery.

    After listening to just half of this video, I’m in tears of fear, anxiety, hope but I’m 71years old, and 5 pickle ball classes brought all of my pain out and I’m told I should have hip replacement but I feel like God has been helping me delay surgery and in the meantime I’m have found videos like this one. The first thing Troy said was how in school he couldn’t do the stretches his friends could do. I always felt I had square pegs in round holes for hips lol. I gave birth to a daughter that even at 3 years old she had SOOO much flexibility than I ever had and look 50 years later I’m hearing you guys talk that totally get it. I want to lose weight & get back to playing tennis and at this point I have a Neuro person looking at an EMG to look for pinched nerves and possible spinal injection instead of hip replacement to be able to tol movement. I’m going to keep listening. Troy my heart goes out to him and I’m so thankful for all he experienced so I can be brave to be my own advocate but I’m running out of time I don’t want surgery at 80.

    Totally agree! My story is the same as yours and I have met another person that also had the same experience and poor result from surgery. Doc also told me I had torn labrum cartilage which was a tiny tiny spot barely visible on an MRI and also that I had a hip impingement from misshapen bone born with. After numerous steroid shots and physical therapy of which I now believe I was not getting the correct treatment for I went forward with the surgery which only deteriorated my hip joint and caused arthritis to set in due to the trauma from the surgery in shaving the hip joint where I had no arthritis and only worsened my range of motion and pain. Doc now tells me a hip replacement is the only option next when I decide I can’t tolerate the pain any longer. I instead set on a path to strengthen the muscles around the joint with low impact all exercises and stretches I picked up KZread including your channel and my range of motion has greatly improved and the glute muscle strength and tone is returning which was atrophying due to the steroid injections and babying that hip joint. Also wearing very supportive quality tennis shoes like Hoka tremendously helps. I’m holding out as long as possible for science advancements to rejuvenate hip cartilage for now. Fingers crossed.

    One thing that really resonated with me is 'be honest with yourself'. When I started my journey I had so many light bulb moments that motivated me to try out different things. But its easier to say 'i cant internally rotate my leg at all, so i guess i need surgery or extended resting' instead of 'i can only internally rotate my leg 1cm so that tiny little bitty movement is my starting point'. This is why I appreciate your videos so much. You demonstrate how to activate/strengthen and muscle but then you include: 'and if you cant do that try this. And if you cant do that, start here even if it's just 5 seconds at a time'.

I want to use prana breathing in general and with focus on the damaged joints and spinal sections...I already eat quite well...I don't necessarily believe that a relatively small amount of sugary or naturally sweet foods is problematic enough to have to eliminate all of those foods. There are many of us who have chronic Lyme Disease symptoms, NueroLyme and/or Fybromylasia. Meanwhile, I know that I haven't moved my body around or consistently exercised enough for a long time.

    Been waiting for something like this. I had an indirect femoral hernia repair surgery in dec, and while getting back into distance running I developed tears in my labrum due to fai which they discovered in feb. now I’ve been rehabbing for months and considering the surgery more than ever. However, strength and flexibility have gone up tremendously this year which makes me thing if I keep rebuilding strength in my right leg/glute, and can work my flexibility to the splits, I should be relatively pain free minus some popping here and there. That’s the hope at least. Already had 2 shots this year which loosened things up enough for rehab, and I feel I’m passed that stage

    Thanks Troy and Matt for the video and this fully echos my own experience. I went for FAI surgery too early and was suffering from a very long lasting recovery without getting pain free. The surgery made my muscle issues with my glutes and hamstrings even worse. I should have tried much harder to fix my muscle issues first before considering surgery at all . Resting when having pain as recommended by the doctors was definitively the worst to do. I am now on track getting more pain free in year 3 after surgery understanding my hips, knees and pelvis position much better and where muscles are attached and how to get them fired and coordinated. I am FAI Fix user and found a better doctor and PT to support me. Anyhow it takes time but it is the best investment to do.

    Listening to Troy, reminded me of my condition, some 40 years ago. After about 10 years of ulcerative colitis, which I managed to clear up (using diet) I slowly developed a reactive arthritis, which flitted to different areas (neck, knees, hips, wrists, etc). Eventually I arrived at a state, in which I could not even open my mouth to speak properly). I had to go on steroids, in order to function. I spent a week in hospital, getting tests. Meanwhile I snuck down to the hospital library every day and did research. I asked for an HLA B27 blood test, which was positive. So I instigated parasite tests, in which I was positive for blastositis hominids and klebsiella; one of these also was connected with the HLA B27 factor. While remaining on a low dose of steroids (which I needed in order to be able to walk), I used medicinal, herbal and dietary methods to remove these parasites, and get my life back. It took a few years to totally get rid of the inflammatory muscle pains, and about 5-6 years to stop gut reactions to foods. Like Troy I seemed to have several food ‘allergies’ and it took a lower carb diet and lots of herbs to keep gut parasites low. Now, I have started getting some inflammatory pains again. This video has reminded me to look into this as a possible contributing factor. So I will use both the physical and gut approach to a cure. Thank you Troy, for reminding me about the ‘food allergy’ connection to joint pain. If only doctors would look into the parasite issue with joint pain, it would save years of pain for so many people. And also, it is so necessary to do your own research into your personal condition. Nobody cares about your health, in the same way that you do. Also, nutritional therapy is an obvious way towards health. A good practitioner will look at the cause, as opposed to finding a system clearance. ( often the case with the medical profession). Thanks again for your video.

    I am lucky to have learned a lot about these before such thing happens to me. I have a minor hip impingement too. I learned to bring back my range of motion by exercise. I train my hip internal and external rotation. Also flexion and extension. Bring back stability and mobility all at once. That’s the only path I would go. Surgeon are good at putting things back together. But they can’t guarantee to bring back movement. Because they make judgment by looking at X-ray and MRI images. Those are STILL images! When a joint moves, a whole system of muscles work in a complicated way. A surgeon can’t be so confident to bring back joint movements.

    Amen. I feel the same way. I was told I need to have hip replacement surgery and I feel that I have a muscle imbalance and need work on my exercise. So, I've decided not this starting during covid19 setting for 8 to 9 hours working from home. I never had this problem before until working from home and setting 8 to 9 hours. Thank for your advice.

    I had a "club foot" at birth. I was put into a cast for 6-8 months at about one year; no physical therapy. My left leg is pulled up into the hip very tight i.e .5 inches functionally shorter than right leg. I am 72; quite active for my age. Exercise regularly. Can the soreness and ligaments be released at this age with proper exercises?

    Have you ever seen chronic inner groin pain following FAI surgery? I had the exact same surgery as this in August 2020 and since the surgery my inner thigh/groin always feels pulled. I've done months and months of PT and no one could figure out why or how to fix it. I've rested, I've strengthend, I've stretched but it all seems to actually aggravate it further. I'm getting desperate for relief. And no, I wouldnt do it again!

    Troy's testimony could have been mine... except I have been refusing the idea of surgery and have been battling these issues for years that my doctor claimed were all really coming from my back. Basically was becoming totally immobile. What Troy said about your body folding in on you is soooooo true. You can be in so much pain and stiffness, its hard to know where to start. I've experienced the right leg issues of weak hip flexors, bursitis, weak quads, glutes and hamstrings, popping hip syndrome, ad/abductors weak and popping...serious shooting pain, and Labral tears.... Couldn't stand on my right leg for over a year until I realized I needed to work on strengthening not just stretching. Its been a REAL challenge. Having to use two canes to get around. We won't talk about the osteoarthritis in all joints. But. What has helped is the daily stretching, various exercises, etc. I've created a mini gym in key areas in my home where I sit for long periods of time: resistance bands, seated elliptical, and it may sound crazy...but the Suzanne Sommers Theighmaster set helps keep your hips loose and will help with the clamshells. I keep a set by my bed, in my office, and where I dine. I keep resistance bands as well in each area as well as the elliptical in the office and dining. Bought a NuStep for the bedroom...and just bought a Total Gym. I've learned to try to keep mobile even when I'm sitting. Bed exercises before rising, some before sleep. Note that micro movement can be just as effective if that's all you can do. I'm learning to say "I'm rehabbing myself", instead of exercising. I remember doing 35 seconds on the bike or even the seated elliptical for the right leg, and that was progress!😂 Now I can do half and hour forwards and backwards. Any forward movement is progress. So even one clamshell with the TMaster to start. Now I'm up to 50 on each side, the popping has practically stopped, no more shooting pain, etc. Sometimes it was so painful, I would just put it between my knees and hold it...releasing slowly. Watch your diet for anything that triggers inflammation and stiffness. Your diet can undermine your PT efforts. Hope this helps.💪🤗✌️🌺🌿

    I feel bad for the guy since he has arthritis but he seemed seriously misinformed regarding the procedure. FAI/labral tear surgery is not for arthritic hips. He should have also known that microfracture was a possibility based on the MRI findings. The bottom line is that for FAI surgery to be successful you need to have zero arthritis, little to no focal cartilage damage (no microfracture needed) and you need to pick one of the top hip surgeons, not your local orthopedic surgeon who does it all. If I would have been him, I would have just done orthobiologics and try to rehab until the time is right for a replacement. He pretty much wasted his time and money with this procedure.

    Does the “new kind of surgery” that is mentioned by Troy mean arthroscopy? It is quite well known and popular type of surgery since 2012 (at least in Europe) but indeed it is not a good solution for seriously deteriorated hip joint or bone conflict. It it better for knee related problems. Its not very successful for hips (the historical study showed) . Quite oftern within a 3 -5 years from hip arthroscopy, one must get a total hip replacement. So save yourself money, pain and stress. Do not agree to arthroscopy,. Try the PT as much as you can, and if that doesnt work - just go straight with hip replacement. Anyway, big thatnks to Troy and Matt for posting this. Many people need to hear this story. Best wishes for Troy! ✊✊ Get well soon!! 💪

    Sounds like this guy had a bad surgeon and the PT's did not know what to do. I had way worse hips than he did, and I have a completely different story to tell. I had microfractures too. This guy doesn't even know what microfractures are and has a poor understanding of what the problem was. I was skiing 4 months after the surgery and running 2 months later. I was the worst case the surgeon had seen at the time and years after I still play competitive sports. I love most of your videos but this one is really just an unlucky story that may spread some level of misinformation. You need good doctors first of all. the end of the video is very good though. The advice he gives in final minutes is 100% right. But that does not mean that FAI surgery is bad for you

    This guy unnecessarily dragged this story out. A lot of she, she, she, and nothing about the fact that he was treating his doctor like a parent who was making decisions for a child. This is the age of the internet. Going under the knife without a second opinion? What this guy essentially did was to let a surgeon operate without a second or even third opinion that would allow him to gain more information. In his story his physician sent him to a physical therapist; that therapist was the person to ask about alternatives to surgery. Don't get results with the first physical therapist? Keep looking for a better physical therapist that satisfies your goal. Look online, etc. The takeaway of this story is research so you can give INFORMED consent before you turn to surgery.
