Supertraining

Hi Harry, my name is James Herington. I am a PT and studying to be a 
nutritionist. Have you tried L-Arginine? It is a free-form amino acid that when 
taken dilates the veins making for better blood flow. You might try this, 
before turning to surgery. If you decide to take it, take 2g before and after 
each workout and 2-3g before bed.

          Dear all,

I am a 26 year old PT and strength coach. I am very physically 
active, playing soccer 2-3 times each week and doing between 3-6 gym 
sessions each week. Over the past 2years I have started to have 
serious problems in my right hip, consequently that I have had to cut 
back on the soccer in the past 6 months and can no longer run for 
more than about 10-15 mins. After see a physio and having an MRI I 
have been diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the femoral head (lack 
of adequate blood supply). After meeting with the doctor they have 
decided that the best course of action is for me to have a core 
decompression of the right hip in order to release the pressure and 
hopefully get normal blood flow back up and running.

I have a number of questions/concerns and would very much appreciate 
any advice, experience and knowledge that any of you could pass on in 
this matter.

1. The success rate of this kind of procedure?
2. Likelihood of the condition reoccurring?
3. Length of recovery time? How long before full weight bearing 
impact exercise can take place? How long before light rehab work can 
begin?
4. Likelihood that I will have full ROM and function restored to 
hip after this operation?
5. Any alternative treatments? And effectiveness of these 
treatments (am seeing an acupuncturist for consultation on Friday, 
however I have very little knowledge in this area and therefore am a 
little sceptical)
6. Finally any other help or information that you may be able to 
pass on would be gratefully received.
