        • Hip impingement surgery - hard lessons learned with Troy Malone

          What would you do if doctors promised you that they could take away all your pain with a simple surgery? You would do it, right? How would you feel if you underwent the surgery, and none of the benefits materialized?

          In today's interview, we're talking to Troy Malone. He's going to share his entire saga with the dreaded "hip impingement" diagnosis. He's going to explain everything the doctors said, and he's going to share the things he's learned navigating the medical system while trying to heal his own body.
