Thanks everyone for the info and encouragement. As my wife and I will be retiring in three months you can imagine what a bummer this is. Your information will help me look at it as just another of life's challenges. Thanks again.

General Discussion / hip pain

« on: September 29, 2011, 08:53:16 pm »

I have just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my right hip. I ride about 100 miles a week and just started doing week long trips riding 50 to 60 mile a day. Will the riding help or cause the problem to get worse. Doctor says I will eventually need a hip replacement. Will I be able to ride again after the replacement. Would like to increase rides to 2 to 3 weeks in the near future. If anyone has experience with this please advise.
