Maximum toe spacers?
Hello— the gel toe spacers I have compress a lot, so the space between toes isn’t as much as I like. Not looking for solid toe splayers or cork bc gel is comfortable. Has anyone found spacers that you feel create pretty big space between toes?
Finding a PT w hip specialization?
Is there such a thing, and how do you find one? Havent settled on surgeon yet, so I don’t have that resource. From my experience so far, generalist PTs have all suggested the routine protocol of clamshells, glute bridges, adduction. Would like to find someone who will specifically address location of my tear and know how to best to build support around it. (Tried ISHA but no listings in my area— MA).
Can anyone really do those toe isolation exercises?
Where you raise your great toe while others remain on floor and vice versa? Did you have to build up to getting it, by using your hands at first? Somehow scrunching my face and saying “move” isn’t working. 🤨
Fact check radiologist?
Quick question: my MRI results for my right hip said “longitudinal complete labral tear along the anterior superior quadrant, 7:11”. In the right hip, isn’t the anterior superior quadrant around 12-3ish? Thanks.
Help translating MRI language?
Hi— I received the following after a 3T MRI and would appreciate any help interpreting it. My PCP said it was a “small” tear but the radiologist uses language like “complete tear” in an area, so I’m confused. Thanks!
”Dedicated right hip: There is mild effusion. There is a longitudinal complete labral tear along the anterior superior quadrant, 7:11. There is propagation of the tear to the superior labrum does incomplete extending through superior 12:00. There is chondral surface irregularity involving the medial superior femoral head and acetabulum.”
Thanks! ◡̈
Sliding screen door… askew?
I’m terrible with spatial stuff 😟. I know where the alignment screws are and how to raise and lower, but what adjustments do you make if there’s too big a gap at top (and bottom is okay or could be widened a bit)? Thanks! ◡̈
Any pre-surgery exercises?
Did your doc/pt suggest exercises you could do while waiting for treatment/surgery? Looking to build strength around hip and keep tendons active but not doing too much. (I know “it depends” on particular tear/location but just looking to get some ideas). Thanks!

Help Finding a suitable Hayward VS pump?
Really confused by all the different models and names. Even contacted Hayward support but still not clear. Looking for a simple (no apps/ WiFi etc) Hayward variable speed to replace this Pentair Whisper Flo. Anyone know the Hayward line well? Thanks! ◡̈
Was she born in Cabot Cove?
Or did she move there? If so, when? Watching the one where Amos exaggerates his school football exploits to Tommy and Jessica vouches for him.
Best places to purchase new VS pump?
Looking for 1HP Hayward or Pentair VS pump. Suggestions on where to get decent prices? Online? Pool stores? Thanks.
