I’ve mentioned my hip before and sadly it hasn’t gotten any better. Now I know why. I had an MRI the other day and there is definitely some necrosis in my left hip. Luckily it’s not bad enough for a hip replacement (yet) and everyone seems hopeful that physical therapy will let me strengthen everything up enough to get by.
I’ve had bad knees for years, starting some 25 years ago at age 30. I haven’t had my knees replaced so it is possible to get by. Bicycling helped my knees a lot and it doesn’t seem to be hurting my hip, so I get to continue! Yes.
Of course cycling is great for some things, like the muscles you use while cycling, and not much else. So the exercises I’ve got to do will do a bit to strengthen the muscles cycling isn’t getting (and believe me, there are a lot).
Here’s what I get to do…
