started bothering me last spring and has gotten progressively worse since. was to the point I could barely walk at times. got a cortisone shot in late oct. that helped significantly, but as I was told it could only last 4-8 weeks and it is clearly wearing off now. still not as bad as it was and i am supplementing the shot with prescribed anti-inflammatories & ice regularly.
it was only a matter of time really. family tradition as both my pops and sister have each had both done over the years. genetic defect called a femoral impingement that causes the femur ball to grow out of round over the years that wears the cartilage til it's bone on bone. my left side in the x-rays still looks pretty good, the right is shot.
