>>> WELCOME BACK. SOMETIMES SERVICE LIKE HIP AND
KNEE REPLACEMENTS BECOME
NECESSARY AND EVERYBODY IS
LOOKING FOR A FAST AND STRONG
RECOVERY.
RECOVERY.
RECOVERY. HERE ON HOW SHE BALANCED BACK
HIS CROSSFIT INSTRUCTOR
KATHRINE STOJKOVIC.
KATHRINE STOJKOVIC. GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE
YOU WERE LUNGING AND DOING ALL
OF THOSE THINGS VERY ACTIVELY SO
YOU ARE MINDING YOUR OWN
BUSINESS AND WENT TO THE DOCTOR
AND NOTICED SOME THINGS.
WHAT WAS UP?
>> I WILL START BY SAYING I WAS
STRUGGLING A LITTLE WHEN I WAS
HERE BEFORE.
HERE BEFORE. THE BEGINNING OF THE HIP ISSUE
WAS PROGRESSING AND SO TWO AND
HALF YEARS AGO I STARTED TO GO
TO MY PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR ABOUT
PAIN IN MY KNEE AND THEY SAID
YOU JUST NEED SOME PHYSICAL
THERAPY.
THERAPY.
THERAPY. I USED TO RUN A BIT IN MY 30s
AND 40s SO A LITTLE GENETIC
ISSUE AND OVERUSE.
AND I WAS WORKING ON THE KNEE
THING AND IT HELPED A LITTLE
BIT AND EIGHT MONTHS LATER I'M
FEELING SOME PAIN APPEAR.
SO THAT IS WHEN IT STARTED.
JUST ME REALIZING AND I
REMEMBER ONE DAY STANDING TO DO
A WORKOUT IN MY HIP LOCKED UP
AND LITERALLY I TOOK MY FIST
AND I MOVED SOMETHING AND I
GUESS WHEN I THINK BACK I MOVED
THE HIP INTO AN AREA WHERE I
HAD SOME CARTILAGE AND I WAS
ABLE TO FINISH THE WORK OUT.
SO I WENT BACK TO MY PRIMARY
CARE DOCTOR NESS THAT I THINK
IT IS MY HIP AND SHE SENT ME
FOR THAT SHE SENT ME TO PT
AGAIN BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT MAYBE
IT WAS HIP FLEXOR ISSUES BUT
THE PT WAS PAINFUL.
THAT PT PROVIDER SEE ME TO GET
AN X GREAT AND IT CAME BACK AND
SHOWED NO CARTILAGE.
>> YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE A
CHOICE AT THAT POINT.
>> NO CHOICE.
AND THEY SENT ME DOWN TO AN
ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON IN SEATTLE
AND HE LOOKED AT THE X-RAY AND
HE SAID AFTER SOME CONVERSATION
HE SAID YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS.
YOU CAN USE A CANE OR WE CAN
FIX THIS AND
>> I KNOW OPTION A WAS NOT ON
YOUR LIST.
YOUR LIST. >> AND WE WERE IN CALIFORNIA
FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER AND
NOVEMBER AND I ACTUALLY WENT
AND BOUGHT A CANE WHILE I WAS
WAITING FOR MY SURGERY.
BECAUSE IT PROGRESSED THAT
QUICKLY.
QUICKLY.
QUICKLY. >> THAT IS A DRAG AND THAT IS
SCARY.
SCARY.
SCARY. >>
SCARY. >> I WANT TO MOVE.
>>
>>
>> >>
>> >> OF
>> >> OF COURSE YOU DO AND ALL OF
US DO.
US DO.
US DO. THAT IS THE IDEA IS TO STAY
TOGETHER AND INDEPENDENT UNTIL
THE END.
THE END.
THE END. >> SO WHAT WAS THE RECOVERY LIKE
IN THE PROCESS OF THE SURGERY?
>> OH MY GOSH.
FIRST OF ALL IF YOU HAVE A
PROVIDER THAT IS TRYING TO PUT
YOU OFF FOR ANY REASON, IT IS
THE QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE.
SO WHEN HE UNDERSTOOD WHAT I
WANTED TO DO AND IT WOULDN'T
NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE IF IT
CAME DOWN TO ABOUT I JUST NEED
TO BE ACTIVE.
IT WAS AMAZING.
THE WHOLE PROCESS.
I WENT DOWN THERE AND I HAVE
COME SUCH A LONG WAYS AND I
WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW I HAD A
FRIEND THAT HAD A HIP
REPLACEMENT SIX YEARS AGO IN 16
MONTHS AGO.
MONTHS AGO. NOT TODAY.
NOT TODAY. THEY DON'T PUT YOU UNDER AND
YOU GET A SPINAL AND YOU ARE
AWAKE.
AWAKE.
AWAKE. >>
AWAKE. >> THEY HAD ME ON CRUTCHES THAT
NIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING.
I HAD TO WALK UP SOME STAIRS.
>> THERE YOU ARE IN YOUR
CROSSFIT.
CROSSFIT.
CROSSFIT. >> SO NATURALLY, YOU DID WELL
AND DID WELL WITH YOUR RECOVERY
BUT PART OF IT IS THAT YOU WERE
WILLING TO DO ALL THE THINGS
YOU NEEDED TO DO TO GET
YOURSELF BACK GOING AGAIN.
AND WE WONDERED IF YOU WOULD
TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND
PUT US THROUGH SOME OF THE
PACES OF YOUR RECOVERY SO WE
CAN GRASP THAT THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT PART OF A FULL AND
STRONG RECOVERY.
STRONG RECOVERY. >> AND TO BE CLEAR I AM NOT A
DOCTOR.
DOCTOR.
DOCTOR. >> THESE ARE THE EXERCISES THAT
YOUR DOCTOR WILL GIVE YOU OR
YOUR PT THAT YOU DO BEFORE AND
AFTER.
AFTER.
AFTER. IT
AFTER. IT HELPS STRENGTHEN THAT AREA.
>> LET'S SEE WHAT YOU ARE
DOING.
DOING.
DOING. >>
DOING. >> I WOULD DO THESE EVERY TIME
I WALK THROUGH MY BEDROOM ON
THE BED.
THE BED.
THE BED. FIVE TIMES PER DAY.
THE FIRST ONE IS PUTTING YOUR
HANDS ON THE GROUND AND JUST
SQUEEZING YOUR GLUTES ACTUALLY
TO WEAR YOUR FIELDER BOTTOM
COME OFF THE GROUND.
AND I WOULD HOLD FOR FIVE
SECONDS.
SECONDS.
SECONDS. THE NEXT ONE IS LIKE JUST TO
KEEP YOUR LEGS STRAIGHT AND PUT
IT OUT AS FAR AS YOU CAN
WITHOUT PAIN AND BRING IT BACK
IN.
IN.
IN. FIVE
IN. FIVE TIMES.
FIVE TIMES. AND HERE IS ANOTHER ONE.
JUST LIFT YOUR FOOT.
ROLL YOUR FOOT UP AS FAR AS YOU
CAN GET IT WITHOUT PAIN.
>> AND LAY IT DOWN.
AND THE NEXT ONE IS NOT ON THE
MAT BUT THOSE ARE REALLY THE
KEY.
KEY.
KEY. WHEN
KEY. WHEN YOU'RE WALKING THROUGH
YOUR KITCHEN OR LIVING ROOM AND
YOU HAVE A CHAIR, CAN YOU SEE
ME GRAB THE CHAIR?
AND DO A SQUAT.
DO A SQUAT AND FEEL THAT HIP
WORKING.
WORKING.
WORKING. >> AND I ACTUALLY STARTED DOING
SQUATS BECAUSE OF YOU.
THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE.
WHICH WAS JUST AMAZING.
AND THOSE ARE VERY SIMPLE
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. >> TOTALLY SIMPLE.
>> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO PEOPLE
IN TERMS OF IF THEY ARE FEELING
SOME PAIN. WOULD IT HAVE BEEN
BETTER IF YOU HAD GOTTEN X-RAY
SOONER?
SOONER?
SOONER? >> HOW DO WE GET TO GET A GOOD
DIAGNOSIS?
DIAGNOSIS? >> YOUR PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR AND
I HAVE TO SAY IF YOU HAVE A
GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR THAT IS
WHERE YOU START.
THEY KNOW YOU.
THEY SHOULD KNOW YOU.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT
RELATIONSHIP FIND SOMEBODY THAT
YOU HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH
BECAUSE THEY WILL LISTEN TO YOU
AND SAY I AGREE SOMETHING IS
WRONG.
WRONG.
WRONG. IT
WRONG. IT IS NOT ME THAT I CAN'T SQUAT
WITHOUT PAIN.
WITHOUT PAIN. THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE SAME
ISSUE FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
>> BUT IT WAS A CHANGE FOR YOU
AND YOU KNEW IT.
>> I THINK THAT IS A REALLY
GOOD CLUE FOR US TO LISTEN TO
OUR BODIES AND LISTEN TO THE
CHANGES THAT TAKE PLACE.
>> AND IF EVERYTHING ELSE
DIDN'T WORK.
DIDN'T WORK. THEN YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT
SOMETHING ELSE.
SOMETHING ELSE. >> LOOK AT THIS YOU HAVE A
BRAND-NEW HIP.
BRAND-NEW HIP. >>
