'MRI Hip 02 RT and LT Both (14 months post RT Hip surgery, 24 months post collision)'

After 2 months of progressive worsening of the Left hip/side coupled with swelling of RT Hip not diminishing any further horizontally again. I made a visit to my GP demanding an MRI of both hips. This isn't good enough. I had done everything asked and as a health professional I know some-things wrong still.

'Rehab Annoyance Surgeons Letter - RE 2013 full of swelling Discomfort/Still visible'

Okay the 3rd cortisone into the greater trochanter bursa (albeit post surgery this time a year after the pre surgery cortisones administered) requested by the surgeon was performed in November last year 2013 via Ultra Sound. 

For I saw the surgeon again in November 2013. He told me I had glute tendinopathy, not to ice, not to touch glutes, not to stretch etc. That it had to be left alone to heal and he didn't know how long that would take. He also mentioned I had residue Bursitis RT hip from the Surgery a year ago (I was a bit annoyed that it hadn't been picked up sooner and treated after the surgery - I mean a year later!?!) Upon checking hip it was still tender/limited.

'Rheumatologist Report - Swelling Discomfort/Still visible'

Aug 16 2013 Rheumatologist Report and 2013 full of swelling/bruising and unhelpful non conclusive advice. Despite 75% loss of the attaching Ligamentum Teres and severity labrum/pelvis of injury so forth, I should have surpassed the swelling/bruising etc within months of arthroscope.

Yet I have spent all of 2013 swollen and bruised. The swelling was progressing down to better gradually post surgery and then stopped to about 2 inches laterally, forcing my Op RT Hip up higher than my LT Hip.

I saw numerous specialists about this concerned including the surgeon who operated the hip joint and a Rheumatologist. No one requested follow up imaging/MRI despite slowness in recovery/healing. When I saw my Surgeon and asked 'When will the massive deformity of lateral hip 2 inch lump go'? he said he didn't know and that it's usually not a question his patients ask. I'm a highly trained trainer and athlete who cannot afford the swollen discomfort and visible deformity - which restricts normal gait/movement.

After 12 months of this I saw the surgeon again in November 2013. He told me I had glute tendinopathy, not to ice, not to touch glutes, not to stretch etc. That it had to be left alone to heal and he didn't know how long that would take. He also mentioned I had residue Bursitis RT hip from the Surgery a year ago (I was a bit annoyed that it hadn't been picked up sooner and treated after the surgery - I mean a year later!?!) Upon checking hip it was still tender/limited.

'MRI Hip 01 RT (4 months RT Hip post collision)'

Actual 1st Post Collision MRI Results 10th July 2012 of Right Hip (4 months RT Hip post collision)

After being rammed side on off my bicycle on the bike path March 2012 - I couldn't feel my RT leg fully along with RT Knee confirmed Grade II injury Lateral aspect) I couldn't control or walk with a normal gait being reduced to crutches. Acutely swollen, I had described the road attack accounts (side of Taxi chassis/passenger door contacting the RT side of my Hip/Glute, Knee/Tib/Fib deliberately on impact) to various initial medical professionals (bar my long term GP).

They seemed to be only concerned with my knee and the Emergency ward of the hospital only X rayed my knee on the day of collision. I was convulsing and couldn't feel/felt disconnected from my R Leg/Hip.

'Strapping, more cortisone and aggravation of LT leg/hip'

My goal previous 11 month post surgery Nov last year -
'To completely resolve the swelling inflammation of smashed then operated hip/glute by Jan Feb 2014, progress' I was side lined, post cortisone for 4 to 6 weeks with walking even limited for 10 minutes. I also cannot fully rehab/load actual glute hip until all swelling's resided.

Before my 3rd cortisone shot into the Greater Trochanter Bursa Operated R side I started strapping the bruised Glute for diagnosed Glute tendinopathy. I've included a pic of the bruising below.

16th Oct 13 Rehab update - TAC denying medical requested treatment for Whiplash/Head pain & the Trochanter Now is needing another Cortisone/ultra sound

 Hi all... A REHAB very quick update. Been a busy past week to push through treatment requested for the neck - whiplash by my GP/Physio/Surgeon. Need this to get to the next level of rehabilitation. It's been a 5 week exercise and was told today that the TAC insurance company doesn't accept and wont pay for it. It's now hand passed to my lawyers Maurice Blackburn. 

I've only been able to do some rehab at home in the past week half due to the rehab of neck roadblock pending further treatment. I admit after 18 months of this nonsense it did break me today. I want to be able to go out like everyone else, wear my heels, dance and have a social life. Not have to travel by reclining in Taxi everyday to medicos and rehab only...
