Re: What was your first sign of Arthritis in the hip?

[Guest guest]

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.

I remember while coaching my eldest son's U-10 soccer team, I

realized I wasn't out practicing with them. I didn't play with them

at all. I didn't run with them either that year. He had just moved up

from U-8 and I think it crept up on me. I was slowing down. I'm not

used to that.

Still refereeing, I noticed I couldn't assist a game. The breakaways

left me behind play. In running the middle, I have enough read on the

game to know who's going to keep the ball, and who's going to lose

it. It helped me to keep the match under control.

The stiffness after a match could be remedied by ice. I drove 60

miles home one night after a high school conference championship with

an ice bag wrapped around my leg. That was the last I reffed high

school.

It was when I couldn't make it up to a ridge overlooking Lake

Superior that I started thinking I wasn't getting better.

The arthritis diagnosis was a relief...I had been thinking MS for

about a year in the back of my mind. Try keeping that to yourself and

still be the " town clown "

First sign of OA was pain in buttock area, in summer of 1999, which was

diagnosed as hip bursitis. Anti-inflammatories and glucosamine/chondroitin

seemed to have cleared it up, buying me a few months time pain free, but the

respite was short-lived. The pain moved to the groin area and I was

diagnosed with OA (not only in hip, but spine, shoulders and neck). I did PT

for a few months, took more drugs (Arthrotec) and continued the glucosamine.

Got progressively worse, till eventual bone-on-bone condition forced me to

consider THR, which was what all the surgeons I spoke with said should be

done, albeit each one had his own favorite implant. Anyway, I blessedly

found out about resurfacing from a friend (Surfacehippy Sheila), explored and

finally got resurfaced in Baltimore (Dr. s) last Halloween. So it was

about a 3.5-year process.
