I'm so happy to read how well you are doing! I just had to comment on what you wrote about your injury stemming from yoga. It was in a yoga class that I first noticed my hip as well. I was getting into a lizard pose and I rolled out onto my pinky toe. As I sank into the stretch, I noticed a serious clunk in my hip. (if that makes sense?) It didn't hurt right then, but after that I started noticing the problem. I have shied away from yoga in my attempt at rehabbing my hip because I don't want to cause any more damage. I kept thinking that maybe I was just paranoid but maybe not?!

You are totally not paranoid. I just googled lizard pose and yikes that is a bad pose for us FAI peeps! Pretty much someone with impingement issues should NEVER do deep hip poses in yoga or so I've been told. Unfortunately that is like 75% of yoga.
This is super dorky, but I played with a skeleton in PT so I could understand what type of movements would create impingement issues. I have pretty bad FAI in my non-corrected hip, but not many symptoms and I really want to keep it that way. Any activity or stretching with deep flexion is risky. I am a little worried about all the road biking I do, but I do need to do something!
I don't want to give up on yoga completely since I do get a benefit from the meditative aspect and some of the poses are helpful in evening me out. I just need to stick to what I know is safe and be comfortable skipping out on some poses.
Interesting article on the risks of yoga: http://www.npr.org/2012/02/07/146463156/the-risks-and-rewards-of-practicing-yoga

Thanks for the article. I could use some of the emotional benefits associated with yoga. This injury has made me feel a bit bipolar. I feel I am improving, but it has been very slow progress with many setbacks.
I am so encouraged when I read how well you are doing. Your experience has made me realize that even if I end up with surgery, it isn't the end of the world or running. Enjoy your weekend!

I like to refer to it as FAI-induced Bipolar disorder. It is funny how similar our experiences have been. My PT actually reminds me to not let the highs get to high and the lows get to low :) This hip problem has been totally unpredictable to me. There are times I feel zero pain and then times I am so achy it hurts to walk and I haven't been able to predict when it will be good or bad.
I guess what gets me through is knowing that whatever discomfort I am feeling at the moment will probably go away after a hot bath and a night's sleep. At this point those 2 things cure most of my hip pain.
I really hope you don't have to have surgery, but it really isn't the end of the world and hopefully it will be worth it in the end!
