| I had an x-ray on my hip last week which shows mild femoral-acetabulum (hip joint) impingement. Possible causes - bad technique, not enough stretching before and after paddling, prior injury combined with overuse. Waiting for an MRI referral, going to a sports medicine clinic at the end of the month. I've not been paddling for 2 weeks now. NSAIDs (oral and topical) help, but obviously a very short term solution. That's great Dan to hear that you were able to heal your shoulder! On the plus side of things, I was able to ride an e-bike up to Olympic Hot springs on Sunday and soak in a forest pool. | I had an x-ray on my hip last week which shows mild femoral-acetabulum (hip joint) impingement.

| - | We do have excellent therapists in town. If anyone does need to see a physician, we actually do have excellent shoulder doctors in this area (contrary to a recommendation made in the 2017 topic). I am a Bellingham Foot and Ankle surgeon, and below are the local/regional shoulder surgeons who I would trust for my own care. Hope this helps! | + | We do have excellent therapists in town.

| + | Also consider Joel Hoekema. When I exploded my downhill bike ride, Joel was my Ortho guy. I knew him as a canoe paddler and ski-to-sea teammate.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | My deal was several busted ribs and shattered scapula. Joel's preference was, if possible, to avoid the O.R. since shoulders (and a few other joints) are high range-of-motion integrated systems. Surgery is last resort. So he lectured me on care while the injury resolved. No motion for several weeks with frequent imaging to monitor progress (or problems).\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Result: no surgery. Lots of P.T. (I still do some of it) and full recovery. For me, it's a big deal for an Orthopedic surgeon to resist surgery and encourage other modalities. That is not common in my experience. As confIrmation, LG just had Hoekema do his hip replacement. He had a similar experience, when he mentioned to Joel that his hip seemed to be better: the surgery was paused to allow possible resolution. But then LG had problems and Joel got him in fast-track. (For some reason LG wants to paddle a canoe with his legs now, but that's ok.)\\ | ||
