I went to see a hip to toe specialist , she did a physical asessment of my hip knees ect…
she said there’s no meniscus tear or hip impingement and no chance of a labral tear as she wouldn’t have been able to rotate my right leg without me being in extreme pain
she told me the popping in my knees is patella maltracking and that i need to see a physio as i have “a weak ass” and poor muscle control in my legs.
i asked her about the sports hernia i was diagnosed with in my right hip by my osteopath and she avoided the question and rushed me out.
anybody know the best solution for a sports hernia? as most people say read the mike boyle article where as others say go for the surgery… that being said , i dont know one person who has had a sports hernia operated on who has actually recovered.
i also wanted to mention that since i’ve started foam rolling my legs again (adductors hurt like hell!) I now have this wierd discomfort in my right ankle (feels like somethings trapped) any ideas what it could be?
If it is a sports hernia (properly diagnosed by a proper sport injury specialist doctor - not your GP) then get the surgery if you can afford it. I got mine done and haven’t looked back since.
The down side is that the NHS won’t really do this operation and the surgery and post op physio can cost a lot…
I compete at a decent level with 2 inguinal cana hernias. 1 was fixed and I have sence healed 100%, I was back in the gym doing everything I could within reason in 2 weeks after tge mesh was installed. the second hernia has not been repaired, and it could blow open on any squat over 550, as that was what blew out the left side in the first place. that was a compound injury tearing some ab off the pubic bone, tearing my hip adductor and the 2nd hernia.
My dick and balls were even black and purple right down my leg yo my knee. How I deal with these ongoing, painful issues is just core training. hanging leg raises, heavy grappler twists, side bends, frony squats ect… youll need to listen to your body, but if you perservere, you will make a full recovery. im guessing the reason you have never met anyone who has had a full recovery from a hernia either because 1 the surgery was not a success, which is an umfortunate inherrent risk with any surgery, or 2 they are not dilligent with training. it is my personal belief that the less time you spend sitting around doing nothing and just letting it heal, the better. obviously within reason.
im an extreme case and matt kroc is an idol I look up to in regard to not letting ters and stuff like that get in the way of your dreams. after the 2nd hernia / incident I was deadlifting the next week again, and I started squatting again 3 days later with a wooden dowel, to a high box. Find your grit, be strong, and dont let it hold you back. I deadlifted 605 x 5 3 months after this injury. Paul Binette, Groin Blow Out.

So you’ve had no pain since? Can you squat, deadlift & bench with no problems?
I was diagnosed by my osteopath, should I get checked by someone else?
Need to get this fixed , can’t work because of it ,
20 years old and all I’ve got to show for it is achey balls.
