Reply To: Running With Hip Arthritis

[Stev-o-reno]

IronRunner I also was recently diagnosed with hip arthritis last year along with a torn labrum at age 42. I’m still working on getting a few other opinions but it sounds like my arthritis is in both hips but due to my torn labrum it’s more present (I done even feel it in my right yet). My current doctor said they could fix the tear but it’s probably better to do the hip replacement to not have to do 2 surgeries. I’m very active and am leaning toward the surgery because I feel it’s throwing my body off alignment. I feel like my body is shifting trying to compensate for what I can’t do because of the discomfort. This is a lot bigger decision than my knee acl surgery decision when I was 28.
