Just that really.
Had hip issues all my life, but progressively worse in the last 5 years. Finally got bullied into seeing the GP, who referred me to a consultant. Having looked at my MRI and CT scans, I have osteoarthritis in both hips. Early stages, but quite a bit of cartilage damage there already.
I'm quite active and the consultant has advised me to give up running and high impact activity. Apart from swimming and Pilates, what else is good.
Is there any other advice people can give? I'm looking into memory foam mattresses as sleeping is quite uncomfortable.
It's not too much of a shock as both my parents have arthritis, they're gradually being rebuilt year on year
I just feel so young still
