I just found this forum and it seems to have lots of info.
I'm 52 and pretty active in that I teach figure skating and compete on the adult level. I think I've been in denial for some time on this whole joint replacement issue - ever since I was told that I would have to give up the jumps and spins. So I've been main-lining the ibuprofins. The left hip is pretty well shot but now the right hip is just as painful. And if that isn't enough - the right knee (my "landing" leg). The right hip & knee pain is very recent - in the past month and a half.
So a few questions - Is it possible to get 3 surgeries done at one time?
Is there any material out there that would let me resume competitive figure skating?
Thanks,
Kay
