Mine came on suddenly about 13-14 years ago and was a pain in the

groin on the bad side. I have idiopathic AVN, not OA or RA. I

lasted those extra 12-13 years (mostly pain free or very low pain)due

to a marvelously effective core decompression done by Dr. Corn, long

since retired. I read recently that core decompressions are only

about 48% successful. For me it was a true miracle, and gave me at

least ten years of playing hockey, etc. with my own hip. I don't

know if other people should consider trying them before SHR or not.

There were two. First, after a long 250 mile trip in a low slung sports car I

had back ache getting out of the car. Secondly, when trying to run up an

escalator I encountered a sharp pain in the hip. Both these were in the year

2000. I was operated on in Feb 2002.

My initial signs were when stuff I could do previously started to be

painful or awkward. In my case skiing...my turning on my bad side

became difficult as my hip wouldn't turn like like in the old days.

So, probably in addition to the pain and discomfort, something you

could do prior becomes difficult for no apparent reason.

I have always had aching legs, but in 1999 every joint in my body

was literally screaming, my gp at the time (who incidently told me i

was making it up) eventually sent me to a rheumatologist who x-rayed

my legs (most painful of all) and diagnosed premature osteoarthritis

in both my Hips. This fine Lady reccommeded that I should see an OS

and suggested resurfacing or waiting as long as possible for THR.

she said my hips looked like those associated with someone in their

70's.

Now I can wait no longer so hence my current wait now for

resurfacing, I am 35 now.

1. An ache so deep in the hip socket, I couldn't identify exactly

where it was coming from. 2. When I would go for a ball on the

tennis court, my hip would " give " , or buckle occasionally. The very

first signs were about 10 years before surgery.

I believe the first sign was a red 92 camaro plowing into the car I

was riding in on december 1st 2000. Yes I remember now...

(OA in right hip caused by Trauma sustained when hit by drunk driver)

I started getting very bad range of motion and some pain in the

hip in my early twentys. I was diagnosed by a chiropractor 12

years ago in my early thirtys. I was told by an OS to come back in

20 years for a THR and that there was nothing else I could do. I

started taking glucosomine sulphate five years ago and I'm still

walking. I guess mine has just been really slow to progress. I

am very thin so maybe that helped. I am 44 and was planning

on waiting at least 10 more years for a THR. Now that I found out

about resurfacing I want to get it done before it is too late.

What was your first sign of Arthritis in the hip?

______

Hi Isobel~ I believe the first time I noticed something with the hip

was approx. 13 yrs ago. I was walking down the 3 steps off my back

deck and my hip stuck for maybe a fraction of a second. Pain didn't

come for many years later. Ist time I saw a dr. about it was in 1997.

That was when I started my love/hate relationship with otc ibuprophen

via instructions from my GP. Excercising bearing no weight on hip was

his recommendation. (biking/swimming) Found out I had AVN Sept 2001

due to unknown causes.

[Guest guest]

Mine was pretty odd. About 6 years ago I was doing some floor exercises.

Just

some gentle stretches. I drew my right knee to my forehead....fine. I

drew my

left knee to my forehead and instead of meeting it neatly, it veered off to

the left.

How odd! It did not hurt. Next time I went to my GP, I told him, he

X-Rayed it and

showed me that I had OA. Since then I have exercised, walked, taken the

usual

supplements and hoped. It stayed alright for 6 years. Then in August '02,

I woke up

and it had all gotten so much worse. Now it is pretty darn bad. I am on

pain meds and

waiting for my surgery on March 27th with Dr. Mont. Hurry up March!

the hip and down the quad - 3 years almost to the day from first pain

to surgery.

My first sign was not pain. I notice something when I was working out

with free weights and was doing my squats. When I reach near the

bottom, my rear end would move to one side. I had no idea what or why

this was happening, so I kept on working out. The second sign was my

golf swing went to crap, or at least I like to blame the hip for that

one:)

At least 15 years ago I started feeling a pain down the back of my

leg and in what felt like the inner muscle of my hip. I go

chiropractic care from time to time at that point, and thought I

could trace it to my 2nd daughter's birth (she's almost 22). In 1997

I found that my mobility was also affected, and I went to see a

sports physician who said I had " sprain and strain syndrome " . I took

the same x-rays to a rheumatologist a few months later. He said I had

stage 3 out of 10 osteoarthritis. I started taking glucosamine,

chondroitin, msm, and even tried cmo. Nothing reversed it, tho it

could have slowed it down and helped me cope for all I know.

Stretching, chiropractic, massage, & PT and at the end crutches and

vicodin have all helped me cope.

Last year it was Dr. Schmalzreid who said I had mild dysplasia,

prevalent in 1st -born females, and it wasn't the birth at all!. My

left side does not seem similarly affected, but if I ever do have a

problem I know what to do!

Mine really has been a gradual progression.....

Love to all, Isara

Six years ago, after a 2 and 1/2 mile walk on a somewhat muddy road, I felt a

distinct pull in my hip. Six months after that, I had my first xray - and it's

been down hill from there, despite supplements, excercise, yoga, PT, Vioxx...Now

I'm figuring out what to do when and where - with the help of this incredible

group.

I remember having what I'd call a " hitch in my gitup " - I'd be

walking alond and all of a sudden it felt like there was a pebble in

my hip joint - in hindsight, it was probably pieces of cartilage

giving way??? It would happen every few months or so - a day of

rest made it stop. Again, hindsight says it came on after I lifted

something heavy.

This occurred for several years, with more frequency; until it

finally didn't go away with rest - the fall of 2001.
