Comment on Coxa Profunda by Cyndy Allen

18 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. After 10 years of treatment, the docs decided I didn’t have rheumatoid, only fibro. and osteoarthritis. I’m now 62, have been on disability for five years, and have been through surgery on my hands four times plus left shoulder repair. Twice I have canceled surgery for my left thumb because of my art work and being extremely left-handed. Chronic pain in my hips has been treated with cortisone shots and drugs. Finally I talked my rheumatologist into ordering x-rays on my neck, spine, and left hip. The report (a brief letter) arrived today and describes mild to moderate degenerative arthritis, PLUS an anatomical deformity called coxa profunda. Searching the internet today led me to this blog. The next step seems to be scheduling an orthopedic evaluation. Thanks for sharing your stories, everyone.

Yep, got some mild hip bursitis and the described pain in both hips after playing soccer (3 times a week, 2 hrs), but ibuprofen or naproxen help a lot (200 mg before and after a game). I’m 42 and I had FAI arthroscopy last year (see my previous post). It helped me return to soccer.

I’ve been dealing with chronic pain for years – was dx’d with fibromyalgia in 1991. When my hips started hurting, I just assumed it was the FM. I was referred to PT – they encouraged me to get an MRI and I found out I have coxa profunda, labral tears and osteoarthritis. I was referred to a specialist who does arthroscopic surgery for impingement syndrome related to coxa profunda. He said surgery should be my last resort. Referred me to a PT who specializes in postural restoration. He wants me to try this for about a month and go back to him if I don’t get any relief.

Does anyone else here get hip bursitis and shooting pains from hip to knee?

Just got diagnosed with this an hour ago in both hips (Age 35). I’ve not found much online, but glad I found this page. My pain didn’t start until Aug 2008 and just when I slept on my right hip. I was told while in the military that it was osteoporosis. The VA said they saw no arthritis but that I did have Coxi Profunda. They are sending me to a rehab doctor this Friday to see what he says. I’m not having much faith in the VA to get this sorted out properly. =) I hope there will be more post here with others experiences and treatments.

My son who is just about to turn 10 yrs old was just diagnosed with CP. I new there was something wrong with hips since he could pretty much walk and Dr.s just put it off as hes groing, but he could never walk down stairs one foot over the other but one step at a time and always twisting and holding on to railing. Even our chiropracture put it off as he had flat feet and just needed orthopedics so we listened and got them and did spesific exercises to help but nothing. Finally chiro suggested to get x-rays and she didnt see it so she had them sent to specialist in Toronto and low and behold a parent is always right about there kids. Poor kid is now fighting this as well as other medical issues , hes a fighter and we are trying all things to help him so he can have a decent childhood, if anyone has any suggestions that would help us it would be gratefull

3 years ago i lived in 61b – so were i still there, CrossFit GVA would be perfect. but i’m out in puplinge now and don’t cross the bridge very often. and i have my own gym and assorted equipment (sans heavy kettlebells and a prowler). i’ll check it out next time i’m that way. thanks for the info.

There is a place on the corner of rue de la servetted and rue de lyon which sells kettlebells. It is a sports nutrition shop, but I have seen kettlebells in the window. Thing is, if you are already on the rue de lyon, you should come see us at CrossFit GVA… I belive that Athleticum sells them too, but probably not over 24kgs
Other than that, I have ordered them online at http://www.sport-tiedje.ch/de/ for a fairly reasonable price, by Swiss standards at least…

speaking of kettlebells, do you know where can i find used kettlebells over 24kg – or even new ones at reasonable prices that i can pickup locally (geneva area)?

Sorry to hear that David. Stick with it. I think I had to wait 2 months for the missing items to arrive. However, when everything did arrive, some of it was in double. So I think I ended up getting 350kgs worth of weight instead of 200kgs. I’m not sure if that was intentional or by accident, but it was one upside of having to wait so long. I’m not sure where you are based, but your other option would be to come and train with us at CrossFit GVA!

i misread your assessment of simpleproducts customer service. thinking you said it WAS great, i gave them a try. totally agree w/you. product was not bad for the price. and combined w/the shipping/customs, it was still cheaper than buying something here in CH. however, the customer service was terrible. 2 months later and I am still trying to get plates that were missing from the shipment. and there seems to be no recourse, so i’ve probably lost out on the plates.
