264. The Moment I Realized I Was a Complete Hypocrite as a Trainer

So first I have to set the scene for you because it is kind of got a backstory to the story for it all to make sense.

If you listen to my episodes for a while, I will link an episode a ways back where I started to have hip issues.

I've talked about it openly on Instagram.

I've talked about it on the podcast and I had an MRI done.

I was basically diagnosed as having avascular necrosis and that is basically where you're the very top of the hip bone, like the socket, starts to get a lack of blood supply and falls apart and you basically need a hip replacement.

They say anywhere between like a year and 18 months once you're diagnosed.

Sometimes some people can be a little longer, but they're pretty clear about that.

I started to actually see improvements.

So my story was a little bit different because I started to do PRP.

I did...

BPC-157, I did physical therapy, even though I literally went to five surgeons and they said, yes, you're going to need a hip replacement.

So I still did everything I could in the meantime, and I actually started to improve.

And my physical therapist, who I've been going to the same company since this happened, and this was about four or five years ago, Ignite Physical Therapy.

I give them a little shout out.

They're in Gilbert.

They have a couple locations.

Love the owner.

Love all the therapists there.

If you're looking for a good PT, you got it.

But I've been going to them for a couple of years and my PT said, hey, I think you should get another MRI.

I honestly think you've been misdiagnosed because with AVN, your range of motion doesn't start to like get better.

Like your pain doesn't reduce.

Your range of motion might be a little limited, but your pain is reducing.

So you seem to be improving.

I got a second MRI and basically it said they didn't think it was AVN, that the AVN was improving, but that's the weird thing is avascular necrosis does not improve.
