Hi Everyone:
Amazingly at age 42 I am facing the prospect of a Total Hip Replacement (THR) in the very near future. I have been putting it off for several years because I do not want to have the limitations imposed by an artificial joint. However, time and the pain levels are such that I am having to deal with this matter. So I have a question for for those that have had THR and do martial arts (or know someone else that has has THR). How has this made a difference and what real limitations to you have in your training.
Thanks!
