Bone on bone arthritis and excersise

FattieBabs

Thanks for that! But of a restless night last night and had to get up and walk around a bit to free up muscles etc and control pain. I am learning a lot about pain management. Holiday coming up so will have to be careful not to undo the work I have done so far but there is a water aerobics class there which is usually fun so will see how it goes..

I had hip replaced at 48 and now 52. Make sure you complete physical therapy and take time getting back to exercising legs. Prior to replacement i completed 4 marathons. During therapy i also took up swimming and now really enjoy it. After 6 months i went back to running at slower pace and stayed off of running on concrete. I also got into sprint distance triathlons as a new hobby.
2 years after surgery I had a follow up with hip doctor just to see everything was holding up. I did not tell him about triathlon prior to visit. Reviewed X-rays and said everything was GOOD. I then told him what i was doing and he said it was fine as long as i had proper running shoes and stayed off of hard surfaces.
This summer i completed a 1/2 Ironman.
I also have to keep weight down.

take time to recover and complete PT

Thanks everyone. Still dieting and even managed to climb up from a dinghy onto a yacht on holiday and go sailing. Slight setback with right knee after the holiday but continuing on the weight loss. Your comments have been very helpful...
