Greetings Sumieber,
I appreciate the response. I too have been swimming lately. My
workouts in the gym include hip machines for both adductors and
abductors as well as the hack squat. On all of these I keep the weight
low, the repetitions high (25-50), and maintain a range outside of the
painful. Generally I feel great when I leave the gym but the pain may
be greater the next morning than if I had only hit the pool.
At this time I have no doctor. The surgeons at the JRI in LA are
relatively close. I am putting off contact with them or the others who
will read x-rays sent to them for the dread of dealing with my
insurance. Honestly, I find the cement-free techniques most appealing.
Bueno
