Hello @mayoandme and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can see you have already been joined by several members sharing their experiences such as @siltal2018 @pat75 @barbfowler and @lioness2001 since your originally posted.

How wonderful that you have found swimming to be one way to effectively minimize your pain, and thank you for sharing that for other members to consider.

Will you be seeking an appointment with an Orthopedic Surgeon as you mentioned?
