Thanks for your response Norm. So I do have LLD which is caused by my knock knee. It's my left side and that's the hip I am having replaced. When I lie flat my knee does not straighten out. It's minor but I'm sure it's due to my severely bone on bone arthritic knees. I was also told at this visit on Friday that I have a lot of arthritis in my lower back. When the surgeon came into the room and tried to not alarm me of all my conditions and my future surgeries, he said we will take it one at a time. He said the hip is the easiest to do first and then we will go from there. It's too overwhelming to look at the whole picture and my future surgeries down the road. I'm getting anxios because I will be turning 61 in July and I would hate to see these years be spent on surgeries and pain. Last June I was walking around in Alaska on a 10 day vacation. Currently can't walk right and I'm hoping it's because of the hip. I've been dealing with my knees the way they are for over 40 years. I used to be a gym rat and since COVID I haven't been back to the gym but I do have a spin bike, treadmill and weights down my basetment but it's not the same. I am wondering why PT after hip surgery isn't really a thing? I have to keep my legs strong because of my knee issue. I do a lot of core work to support my lower back and manage the arthritis pain with tylenol. The whole picture is not pretty. From experience I know exercise is so important and hoping after I get the hip done I can go back to walking like I used to.
