All this walking, averaging slightly over 10,000 steps per day for the last 8 months) is doing great for my heart and weight (lost about 6 pounds last month or so). No occurrence of SVT!!
But...some groin area pain (right side) I had this early Spring has gotten worse and had me worried as it has spread. I can still walk OK after forcing myself to "get past" the pain and keep going until the pain is easily tolerable. On a hunch, I made an appointment with the Doc that replaced my left hip 10 1/2 years ago.
Xrays indicted osteoarthritis in the hip area and a bone spur. Plus an area where it appears the cartilage is gone or just about gone.
My total hip replacement surgery is now scheduled for November 18th.
The Doc (Stefan Kreuzer, Houston) will do the Anterior Procedure like he did on the left hip.
(at least it's not a knee replacement!)
