    Hip Problems and the Ignored Causes

    I read his book too. In my opinion, and this is my opinion, I do not think what he professes will cure the arthritis. I do think that some of the actions help control pain. I know I do control my pain and my pain has been greatly reduced where I think some days I will not have surgery. I have...

    Stem cells anyone?

    Well i did look into it, but did not do it. From what I can tell and find out it is expensive with a very very low chance of success. I was diagnosed with moderate arthritis in june and have reduced my pain through exercises and supplements. I figure my day will come where THR is needed when...

    Battling with the Decision

    you hit the nail on the head with that post. question for you. when you go interview these surgeons, what are you asking them? are you letting them know your "shopping" per se? is each of them taking xrays of you and telling you their opinion? sorry for all the questions as i have not ever...

    Just diagnosed with moderate hip arthritis

    it seems the leg length difference is very prevalent, that does concern me. i don't quite understand what surgeons mean by "settling in". If they know they are making the leg longer because they anticipate it will "settle in" then why not inform patients - we have made your leg x amount longer...

    Hi inkedmarie, i guess the million dollar question is, how much difference, how did it impact you?

    Just diagnosed with moderate hip arthritis

    Concerns are probability to occur (seeing/reading a lot about this recently), impact of occurrence, fixes, and ways to avoid if any. I know best surgeon should be found/used, would anterior be better to reduce this risk, pick surgeon that uses mako robot, etc. When the day comes, staking the...

    Battling with the Decision

    I waiver every day, and have the same questions you do. I have got my pain down to ground zero, which to me means as low as it will go, and it is minimal and tolerable. I feel it walking about .25 miles, went .5 miles today, rode bike 2.5 miles and was ok. Don't get me wrong, I know it is...

    Just diagnosed with moderate hip arthritis

    good luck to you as well. I don't know if it is the right thing, but lately i keep reading a lot about leg length differences, which seems very very common. Perhaps my interpretation is wrong? i wish there was a statistics web site for this kind of thing. maybe there is and i have not found it...

    Just diagnosed with moderate hip arthritis

    I thought I would update my story a bit at this time. Right now over the last 30 days or so, I now have almost no pain. I have shifted my workouts to low impact, take a number of supplements, stretch, elliptical, stationary bike, etc. and all of this has resulted in almost no pain. I am at the...

    Anyone have nerve damage from hip replacement?

    great insight, thanks. i think for me the main thing is the elimination of the hip pain, knowing the post op pain surgery pain will heal/get better over time - that alone makes it worth doing. living with chronic pain that will not heal is a major depressor, and painful/gets in the way of...
