60 YO Male. Severe osteoarthritis of the right hip. I have been ” impacted ” for the past 10 months. It ranged from very painful to nothing, depending on the day.

I’m single, live alone, and have much the same friend relationships as you.  I had resurfacing on 02-28-2018 and had planned for a normal recovery alone but awakened after surgery to the news that I’d be on the extra-slow recovery program due to some severe acetabular erosion and the need for bone grafts.  I was on a walker with 10% weight-bearing for six weeks, transitioning to crutches and ramping up to … Read the rest

Hip #1 in 2012:  I was in-and-out of pain.  When it first started, I would ache for a few days, then it would subside for months.  It wasn’t until I joined a tennis league when this started to shift.  It wouldn’t always happen, but when it did, I would be in pain from 1-4 days, then no pain for a month or two.  It slowly shifted to where the pain would
