Create a channel Learn moreI put the surgery off until I wore a holein the socket itself, had no choice. Surgery is a breeze, walked in 5 hours then home the next day. As mentioned above 'Almost' as good as new.Just turned 49, extremely active guy. Doc says I have early arthritis in both hips. Anyone else dealing with this? What am I in for?
I'm 62, have been a full time farrier going on 39 years, technically end of May will be the 39yr mark. I've known quite a few peers who younger and some times much younger who've had hips replaced because they couldn't tolerate the pain anymore or the hips got so bad they had to do surgery. Steroids will help to some degree. Some of the previous texts have some good info.Just turned 49, extremely active guy. Doc says I have early arthritis in both hips. Anyone else dealing with this?

Samesies. I'm a couple of years older though.I’m 64 had both hips replaced.
Pretty easy surgery three months to heal.

Here's your base to start that build.Supreme Court expected to rule on whether Trump can hold office
The Supreme Court is expected to announce a decision on whether Donald Trump is eligible to hold presidential office on Monday, according to reports.www.dailymail.co.uk
Supreme Court to decide tomorrow if DJT can even run for POTUS after Colo. threatens to remove him from the Primary ballot and the leading thread is arthritis pain and do you need a hip replacement?
I need to design a tactical walker with Kevlar plates and an armored up Hoveround.
Fuck yeah, a motorized militia or MM.Here's your base to start that build.
ESPECIALLY THE SUGAR.Osteoarthritis is a bitch! I've also had both hips replaced. Right side 2 years ago, left 3 months ago. Arthritis is an inflammatory disease and I find my joints feel better if I stay away from sugar & grains (including alcohol).
Be careful with ibuprofen, it really messes with your cardiovascular health if taken long term.
Damn. I like my snacks.ESPECIALLY THE SUGAR.
Sugar is a poison to the system. Cancer loves it.
But a glass of red wine in the evening sure helps me relax.
Just make sure to stay away from the ACME version.Good info on here. I'm the same age as the OP and have already been diagnosed with osteo arthritis and piriformis in my right hip. My Dad just had his second hip replaced a few weeks ago and is toughing out the recovery in his mid 70s. I know I'm going to be in for it and certainly think it'll have to be in my 60s or sooner.
Whats the longevity of a replacement?I’m 64 had both hips replaced.

Currently yes. The ortho doc said its likely stress induced....30 years as a farrier, marathon running, parachuting, horseback riding, stupid heavy squats, 20+ years of muay thai.....just cumulative abuse. Its pretty mild and only really bothers me when I rotate my hip really far outward. My ortho (who is my wifes friend) suggested getting a lubricant injected into the joint. The problem did not surface until last July. I slipped im the mud and fell, essentially did a full split. I thought I had pulled.my groin muscles so just rehabbed off thinking that, problem continued to get worse. Right now controlling it with just IbuprofinJust hips?
Is the ACME version a brand of artificial joint from a company?Just make sure to stay away from the ACME version.
You're way better off with up to 4000 mg. of acetaminophen per day. Absolutely the safest thing you can take long-term.diverdon … running the 4x400 (mg that is)…
All that ibufprofen is tough on the gizzard, man!
In the original Roadrunner cartoon some of the products that spectacularly failed Wylie E Coyote were made by ACME CORP.Is the ACME version a brand of artificial joint from a company?
For pain yes. For pain caused by inflammation ibuprofen is more effective. Or so I've been told by my doctors.You're way better off with up to 4000 mg. of acetaminophen per day. Absolutely the safest thing you can take long-term.
True, but it will wreak havoc on your liver in pretty short order. Also bad for blood pressure. I take (2) 650 mg arthritis tylenols every morning and (2) 500 mg regular tylenols at bedtime. Works for me. I still have pain but it helps.For pain yes. For pain caused by inflammation ibuprofen is more effective. Or so I've been told by my doctors.
Depends on you. If you continue what you said you've been doing, likely a few years. If you tame it down like I did to some hiking and light weight exercise it should out last you.Whats the longevity of a replacement?
Yep, Advil, Alleve, and most of those will burn a hole in your gut as well if your not careful. Read the small print, can lead to hemorrhaging and death. Gave me an ulcer in short order, took a couple years to get it right.True, but it will wreak havoc on your liver in pretty short order. Also bad for blood pressure.

I have quit rucking, long distsnce running (I do 3-4 miles every 3rd day now) and quit doing squats. Hopefully I can stave off the need for repairs, for a while anyway.In my mid-20s a friend told me I moved in an S motion doing squats. He said,” I wonder if you’re grinding your hip joint to dust?” About ten years later I began having a little discomfort if I logged many miles in a week or ran with a ruck. Uncle prescribe the usual vitamin M and I Charlie miked. Another eight or ten years I stopped with the pack. Made it to 50 and gave up running completely. At 67 I have arthritis in pretty much every joint including the spine. Hands and C5/C6 (fused) bother me the most. Hips come and go.
Good luck.
Ask about cortisone injections. There is also one thats a blue gel thats supposed to help. Painless and they do help. I get the cort in my knee and shoulder every 6 months or so.I have quit rucking, long distsnce running (I do 3-4 miles every 3rd day now) and quit doing squats.

Cortisone is known for weakening tendons, leading to ruptures. When I was rehabbing adhesive capsulitis, my ortho (shoulder specialist) recommended a first round of cortisone, but that if it didn't take, to try another approach. But I was also trying to get back into powerlifting and I'm still somewhat young, I'm sure that would play a part in treatment recommendations.Ask about cortisone injections.

That said, dont wait too long, though it sounds scary, hip replacement is pretty much SOP these days. I should have done it 2 years earlier.
I may be wrong abut the cortizone but its a steroid. Knowledgeable dr.'s I spoke with seem to agree its not to be abused but used wisely it can be really helpful. Sure makes my shoulder feel better. The blue gel stuff is supposed to be better as it has some sort of lubricant included.Cortisone is known for weakening tendons, leading to ruptures.

I'm not sure how well it would work on larger, deeper joints like a hip, but you guys might consider trying Voltaren, a topical arthritis gel. I used it when rehabbing my hands and wrist and it helped to decrease pain and IMO reduces inflammation a bit so that I could rehab more.
In general rehab times for ortho procedures are coming down as research is showing that the older recovery protocols of no/very limited use of the joint for extended periods actually leads to longer recovery because the joint and connective tissues stiffen up and shorten.
FWIW , don't wait put off getting the repairs too long. The guys I know who've had it done all say the same thing "wish I'd done it sooner"I have quit rucking, long distsnce running (I do 3-4 miles every 3rd day now) and quit doing squats.
