    Here we go again!

    After successful knee replacement and cataract surgery, I'm getting arthritis in my right hip! I'm getting a little concerned because it's getting a little worse and I don't want to go through surgery again. I have a job where I pretty much walk 8 hours a day and that doesn't help matters. I'm taking Moltrin, but as soon as I start moving my hip the pain comes back. Just wanted to vent a little.

    Oh honey, I'm sorry your hip is still hurting. And I'm sure that walking around 8 hours a day isn't helping. Have you tried any kind of Arthritis formula. Ask your doctor what kind of Arthritis pain stuff you can take without it interfering with your other meds.

    One suggestion...ask Mr. Boss man if it's possible to let you use a golf cart. If he says no, have your doctor write a note that he needs to make accommodations for your hip problem. By law he HAS to.

    ((((HUGS))) It sucks to get old.
