I've just heard that I need a hip replacement. Not surprised as I've already had both knees replaced. It got me thinking though. Why should this be happening to me? Its not something there's a family history of. However, I did a lot of serious training for a sport from age 16-24 then took up running then went back to the original sport in my 40s. I also made a point of walking a lot.
Is our generation the first to do serious sports training? My mother and her generation certainly didn't. I cringe when I think of the shoes we used to train in and on the concrete surfaces too.
I fear my osteoarthritis is a legacy of my sporting youth. If only I'd known!! Is it just me?
