I did a lot of exercising all my adult life, not fanatic, but went to gym many years....sometimes I think I did too much now at almost 77. I've been thru a miserable hip replacement in 2010 that has left me so worse off in many respects. Time will tell everything for you. Be Patient.

Seeing today's exercise world and seeing so many replacements so much younger than myself at 72, replacements were always for the old...today, many many are going thru them so young...and talk about complications...geeezzz

I can compare myself with my folks who lived into 90's and did no fanatic exercise, then myself and the hip replacement at 72 with all my exercise and dancing I did, and seeing so many younger people today.....I see it all. take care and go slower, why not?
