Oy!!
Reading your account makes my hip hurt!
Glad you “popped” back- squat and swivel is now right out!

Glad I’ve still got OEM joints but the ol left hip has been problematic for decades.
I managed to tear some rotators in my left hip during my second trip up to Stevens pass with my big Brother when I was 17.
He was a great skier, loved it dearly and wanted me to learn and become a ski buddy.
I was on Rental gear and veered off into un groomed snow and fell spectacularly, enough that I got applause from peeps on the chair lift.
Right ski released, left did not and I was one hurting unit.
I was on my own since big brother was up in the steep and deep. I tried one more run and it was excruciating.
Took the skis back and went over to the car to wait for brother Scott.
Couple hours later I couldn’t walk.
After X-rays and a Dr visit I was told “Don’t do that to that hip again or it’ll be a surgical repair”

That ended my downhill skiing career since I like to walk and other stuff.

Hope it heals well Jeff, I can’t help but think it will help keep in place though exercise despite the Dr saying nothing keeps it in place, strong muscles have to help
