So, there's a good chance I may need a PAO surgery to repair my damaged hips, I was just wondering if any of you guys had major surgeries and returned to your training? I guess I just need some inspiration stories.

Hip replacement 3 years ago. Reauthorized SCA 2 months back. Beating my way back to the top. My humble .02 Do it. You'll be surprised by how much the surgery and replacement changes, in a good way.

No hip surgery, but did have my gall bladder removed about 3 yrs ago - had to take it easy for at least 4 months. The body needs time to heal, and it's better to heal well than to heal incorrectly. Good luck with your surgery.

Somewhere around 3 months off after knee dislocation. Don't recall the exact time frame but it was unpleasant. Hit me in between jobs and no health insurance, but I got lucky and everything came back together. Rebuilding faith in the body after a failure like that takes some work, after the physical heals you have to get yourself to realize that yes, you actually can use your stuff again.
Best wishes in your recovery!

About three years ago I did my back, twice, lifting heavy landscaping construction materials when I was really tired. I was out of action for a few months, now fully recovered and back into weight training, martial arts training and sword training.
"If there's a will, there's a way"
Wishing you all the best!

I got about a foot of my guts ripped out last July. I was off work about two weeks.

I had my shoulder reconstructed after a nasty accident. During physical therapy I started longsword. The doctor was amazed at how fast I improved and how much axial movement I got back. I told him I had taken up swordsmanship and he thought it had been an excellent thing.

In 2009 I was run off the road by a car while I was bicycling. I took damage to the L5/S1 area of my back and some of the nerves going into my left hip and leg. I still limp a bit walking but I routinely train with guys a decade or more younger than I am and they tend to be the ones wearing out first.
I love taiji and swords ;)

This may sound obvious but talk to your doctor. Explain what is involved in your training and see what they say. A friend of mine had his shoulder stuffed in a car crash. When he finally got the use of that arm back, he took his pole axe to one of his physiotherapist appointments to demonstrate the range of motion he used when fighting. The physio told him it was fine and he was back fighting sca heavy shortly after.
