Good luck, Martin
Know nothing about ops abroad I'm afraid. Had mine done by Mr Krikler at the Nuffield in Leamington Spa. It was about 9 + a half grand and that was 4 years ago. I would think abroad would probably be cheaper than that. Good luck with it.
I'm running in one of the Race For Life 5k races on Sunday. One of the ones in Sheffield. Will let you know how I get on.
I've been reading this with interest. There's a history of oseteoarthritis in our family and i started with hip problems in my mid-twenties. Now mid thirties and seem to be minimising the rate of deterioration with yoga, chiro etc - but feeling rather resigned to the fact that i'll end up under the surgeons knife at some point.
Thanks for sharing the info as hadn't heard of resurfacing before reading this, only whole replacement.
Maybe that's because my backside was very swollen for the first couple of weeks post surgery (unusually swollen I think) Could only wear husbands tracksuit bottoms for the first week out of hospital. He said I looked attractive in them but obviously he's biased!
The France one sounds interesting and at 3k cheaper than my costs - something I would have considered had I known about the option. On point to factor in & plan for. Physio costs post op. My 9 and half k included a couple of sessions of physio but I needed more than that and at the Nuffield in Leamington they were quite expensive (charged by the 20 minute block if my memory serves me correctly.
Hope that helps your choice Martin.
Thought you'd like to know about my Race For Life yesterday. I did the 5k in 26 minutes and 33 seconds. Not my best ever time for a 5k but I was quite pleased with it.
And things looking good for me tonight as well (THU 7th). Just got back from a race tonight. 10K in.... wait for it.... 46 mins. The last run I did was 56mins so smashed it by 10 mins. Progress is now speeding up. About time too. Got to knock that six mins off by end of the year!
I had no problem with my hip untill I hit the last half mile downhill in which i really was shifting trying to catch another team member. He beat me, just.
Bit stiff tonight getting ready for bed, but should be ok in morn.
Good night.
How are you lot doing?
------------
Progress for me is very good,yes.
Infact I have progressed again to running 9.3 miles. Did did last Saturday.
So next posting will be to say I can run 10 mile.
---------------------------------------
How are you doing Ness?
Runagain - still training at the moment - for 5k races at the moment. I have one on the 1st July. That's part of a team charity triathelon. It's on a grass track so I don't expect to go too fast on that one. Am there literally to make up the numbers - my work colleagues couldn't get anyone else to do the run bit of the tri. It's to raise money for sports equipment in the North Warwickshire area.
Next race after that is the "Hydroactive Challenge" - a womens only 5k in the centre of Birmingham - that's not til September and I'd like to think I could train up to a sub 25 minute time for that one. I won't mind if I don't manage that cos I'm just enjoying my general training despite the rain.
When was it done?
London marathon!!!! One hell of a goal that is. Just go steady mate for now. im not running that much at moment, got too much on what with work and jobs on my cars. but hope to train more soon for the Brass monkey half in january.
keep us updating us on your progress.

Pleased to hear you have the new hip. FLM is one hell of a target! Good luck with that.
I'm trying to be a bit more consistent with my training at the moment - 12 - 15 miles a week general running. Found trying intervals/tempo etc etc. didn't work for me.
Am due to run a 5k and a 10k race in September but have no plans to try longer distance races. not sure if I'd have the time for the training.
Anyway good luck with physio / getting back into running.

I was the same. In the first six weeks you don't want to be doing to much. All that cut tissue inside needs to heal. Once that is about healed you can then start pumping them muscles up! Watching Causualty on TV helps! LOL. Take care.
fabulous
Hi everyone,
Just been reading this thread with interest.
Although I'm not having hip resurfacing, I am having keyhole surgery on my hip next month. I have something called Femoroacetabular (I think!) Impingement and they will be shaving off part of my hip ball bone to stop it rubbing on the socket.
Am rather worried to say the least! Mostly about the recovery and whether I actually will be able to run at the end of all this! Have already been off running for 6 months.
It's nice to hear some good, positive hip stories though.
