Been doing the chiropractor and massage thing for a while hoping it will help the constantly hurting area surrounding the hip. Finally went to the orthopedic office and the x-ray showed the whole joint bone on bone. Got an ultra sound guided cortisone injection for temporary relief which helped, but need a replacement eventually. Fortunately, I have a high tolerance for pain and am going to power through it a little longer until I am eligible for Medicare and get a good Part G Medigap plan. The good news is that the ortho Doc told me the hip replacement is a picnic in the park compared to the knee replacement I already had done. Dam, all the mogul skiing, water skiing, football, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, hiking the white mountains, etc… is coming back to haunt me now.
