Hi all-
I had surgery for Athletic Pubalgia on 3/9 by Dr. Meyers in Philly. I had tears on either side of the rectus abdominus and tears in each adductor and he did an adductor release.
I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has had the surgery and did not make a quick recovery. I have spoken with a few people who seem to do extremely well after about 4 weeks.
I am 6 weeks post=op now and my adductors still hurt. I am going to PT 2 times a week and doing Dr. Meyers water protocol. I am worried because my recovery seems to be much slower than what I have seen and read. I guess I am scared that the surgery failed. I honestly have the same adductor pain as I had before the surgery. My PT says this is fairly normal. He has treated soccer players who have had AP.
So if I could hear from people who had this surgery and who could tell me about their recovery I'd appreciate it. I feel that at this point in time the surgery failed, but maybe this is the normal progression. Maybe after 8, 10, 12 weeks things will approve.
Thanks so much.
