My case is rather sad. I had drs in the 90's who hadn't a clue, but were
experimenting on me.
Once they saw the bone loss most drs were afraid to
even help me. So I went all over the world.
I'm in Chicago and
Northwestern even told me in 96 to 'go to Europe'
Ironically when I was in
Munich (2006) I ran into a Bears surgeon there who wanted to see my sevenh and
eighth operations. Ten years too late I told him.
I have learned that loosening up my back helps a
lot.
My bowels after 13 years are finally moving freely.
But my left butt
muscle is so damn tight. My last frontier, I hope.
I do all kinds of
stretches and I'm slowly improving. Dr Muschaweck did fix what a lot of
surgeons screwed up on me.
I never had pain in my thighs until the head
surgeon at Madison and Nesovic (who invented the sports hernia in the 70s)
operated on me. And yes I had to travel to Belgrade twice. I waited until
we stopped bombing and Milosevic was rounded up and sent to the Hague.
This has been unreal.
Those two drs sewed the nerves into the scar tissue
causing all that extra unnecessary pain. My two surgeries in Munich took
over 3 hours (1:55 and 1:15, a new record I was told.) I am in much less
pain, but I still don't have any of the strength I had when I ran 32
minute 10k's.
I keep working on my back and pelvis. Every single time I
get a pop back there, my groin feels so much better.
I damaged my back
from 11 years of throwing my body around playing ultimate. I played at
three different schools while getting my bs/ms/ph.d. My ultimate
colleagues had warned me years ago that I hadn't a clue on how to dive for
the disk and I guess they were right.
