Consequences of Athletic Activity in the Lumbar and Cervical Total Disc Replacement

[New-disc]

Hello,

I needed to cancel my Snow-shoe Mountian trip today (due to a painful hip problem.)

Almost 7yrs of limping around waiting for surgery must of weakend the socket.

The joys of getting old......

X-rays next week.....

Will our/the new USA health care system want to fix me?

I'll keep ya posted.

Getting old is a wicked good thing better than a dirt nap
We know hip replacement works ADR

I am so sorry that something is standing in the way again of you enjoying life to the fullest. May you grab this by the horn like you did your spine and get back to it.

Life is not a spectator sport.
