Sue, did you suffer this all during your youth. Do you think the short cups caused the osteoarthritis and bone spurs gradually and then by 55 it was just too painful Do you have the idea that strengthening glutes and surrounding muscles could have protected you from the first surgery. Do they correct a shallow cup or replace with a smaller femur head? And then you had to have replacement parts. Too much.
Gently means well and thanks you for your kind comment. It's best to have a response from someone with your experience. We need to see a video of your dance class demonstration. or at least a description of the strenghtening regimen.

Sorry gently - this girl is camera shy, so no videos.
No, I think there was something else going on with my hips that caused the cups to be damaged, and then I abused them with years of running and sports, as well as heavy lifting in some of my jobs, and in remodeling homes and landscaping. I had a family predisposition to severe osteoarthritis which affected me as early as my 30's, but I was in denial until I could no longer walk up steps or get onto my ladies' bicycle without help. I always had extremely strong muscles due to all my physical activity , and worked with a PT many times over the years to stay flexible - I was on my feet each time the day of surgery, and walking and dancing within a few weeks.
