Osteoarthritis took me out running in October of 2016. I just could not take the pain anymore. I went through stem cell treatments and never could get to the point to be able to run. After consulting 2 orthopedic surgeon, I was told that a hip replacement was all I could do and that I would not be able to run again. In January of 2022, I did another stem cell injection and this one did not go well, even more pain followed. The Dr. at the stem cell center referred me to Emory Hospital in Johns Creek Georgia(Atlanta) for surgery. Consultation with them followed and they said that I would "definitely" be running again. I scheduled the surgery for May 17th, and within 6 weeks, I had started running. for the first year they held me to no more than 3 miles and no faster than 12 minutes per mile. The 1 year check up went well and I was told I can run 10 miles a day as fast as I want... I'm back.... several 10 mile days a week and 5 to 7 on the other days...
