How to Be the Type of Person That Can Heal From Hip Arthritis

[@michaelbodine9240]

I remember sitting in a university exercise physiology classroom in 1986 or 1987 having a discussion with my professor about atherosclerosis. At the time it was said that this condition could not be reversed. I mentioned that in biochemistry class, we learned that under the right conditions chemical reactions could be reversed . I asked my PhD professor if we could apply that principle in the discussion about atherosclerosis…he vehemently denied this was possible… a few years later studies emerged that showed it was possible to reverse the formation of plaque in arterial walls.

You are the type of person who instills positivity and confidence in my healing. Thank you

Two months ago I was on a vacation in Washington DC. We walked everywhere and every day I go worse and worse. By he end of 10 days I was in such pain. I was hanging onto my sister and leaning on a cane and sleeping sitting up on the couch in our hotel. Equally bad were my hip flexors. I walked bent over due to the pain and the bursitis was back on my Left Hip,. X-rays show severe Osteoarthritis on the L and moderate on the R hip. Basically this has been going on and off for about 4 years. Now, using your cooling down process and glut exercises I am doing so much better. I am able to get into and out of the car with very little pain. I go do my grocery shopping alone without hanging onto the cart. I am not able to walk over a city block YET but I will get there. Thank you.

Concratulations. I hope I'm also able to do so.

Been following Dr D a few years now. As soon as I heard him say he helps people to avoid injections, medication and surgery and helps them to heal instead it was music to my ears - I was hooked. I've been on an orthopedic waiting list for almost 4 years. The appointment I had been waiting for came through in December just gone. But I didn't need it ! I was able to cancel it - thanks to Dr David and his help and instruction on how to heal. Job done - thanks doc. Ur a life saver.

Hi, I just want to say thank you for your video's , They have helped me such much over the last month , I have hip arthritis and it was so bad, I could not get out my chair , it would take like ten mins for my hip to click back into place with massive pain, I started tightening my glutes like you taught us in your videos, I'm happy to say i'm feeling so much better. The clicking in my hip went away, I still have my left side of hip to keep working on, I think i could do this, I just want to say thank u very much. Happy & Healthy New Year To All !

[@AA-gy6ud]

Great advice. Thank you . I’m resting my hip and staying away from walking and feeling some recovery. Thanks so much for your honest advice. I’m getting small benefits each day . I Just need to be patient and listen to your great reminders. ❤

[@cherylconrad1157]

I get impatient too. Then I remember how many years it took me to get into this mess and then I settle down and just do my exercises. Slowly it is working

[@susanmerila4958]

I've been resting from as much walking as possible for a week. Now with week 2, while standing or sitting, I'm almost constantly tensing glute and doing toe curls on alternate sides. Also practicing this on short walk to mailbox, etc throughout the day. Already feeling some relief. The right knee is also benefiting. I'm committed! Thank you for hope for the New Year.

I watch most of your videos doctor. I am recognized with chondromalacia patella last week. I started following your glute strengthening exercises. Your talk is really motivating. I want to join to your patella pain recovery program. Thank you for the work you are doing. It is like getting our life back

[@keenanranch849]

[@charlesbarnett2724]

You're spot on when you talk about the investment in time and how long it is likely to possibly take. To get to this situation where you are in pain, takes a lifetime of ware and poor exercise regime. I've now realised I've had a massive blind spot in my fitness awareness. Thank you.

[@jamesgallant3553]

I’m a 73 year old arthritis sufferer, I tried everything in the last 10 years with no relief. I guess my issues are here to stay. Therapies I have tried,Prolo, Trigenics, Ozone, Shockwave, supplements, Energy therapies etc. on and on. I believe that there is no cure for arthritis unless it is minor in nature. Thank you for all your help.

[@deanpesci8484]

My hip got really bad when I turned about 63 or so....too many slams from snowboarding, skateboarding, mtn biking and telemark skiing.....all my falls were on that left side. Doc showed me the bone on bone xray, and wanted me to schedule the replacement surgery.....I thought about it and at the same time looked at a lot of your vids among others, and decided I would at least hold off....3 years later its not perfect but with the work I put in at least my knee does not bow out on the upswing of a pedddle stroke on my bike anymore....that is huge. I straight up told my ortho doc that I was very disappointed that surgery was the only option they presented me, with no mention of rehab by working on the weak muscles in the mix.....(glutes anyone)??? He said some lame stuff like he wished me luck or something like that.....those dudes are programed by training and even more by the companies they work for to pump out those surgeries.....F them.....along with Big Food, Big Tech, and the FDA etc...F all of them.

[@ceapassmore1202]

I am so glad you have made this video where you mentioned the limitations of a very stiff hip. Sadly, I have lost a lot of mobility my right hip over a long period of time but couldn't find the right help or information to combat it. I am working on my glutes and lower abdominals so hopefully I will have addressed the muscle imbalance by the time I have a hip replacement and avoid a second.

[@jonathanrobinson73]

OK Doc.. it´s complicated...now i have hip Necrosis. I postponed the op in August last year feeling i could beat it. I had a new job and a six month probation period. I wanted to keep my job. I now have a permanent job as of the end of December. Two years ago i could not even walk i was i a wheel chair ,but every day is up and down painfull and mild pain hips cracking or not i dont know how long i can carry on.

[@KYFHOme]

Dr. David, can you address the role of weight loss in hip arthritis recovery? I've been told that a surprisingly small reduction in weight can make large changes in pressure points in the hip joint geometry. What's your experience?

[@LynetteMaffescioni]

A lot of people that are not overweight have arthritis. So its not necessarily a weight problem. My sister has bad arthritis and had to have a knee replacement and was never overweight. I have a hip issue and have never been overweight. I think doctors generalise too much, if you're overweight they'll say that's why. I went to see an Orthopaedic Surgeon to see if my hip labral tear could be fixed. In the report he sent to my doctor he wrote "I stressed to her the importance of losing weight". NO HE DIDN'T, because I never had excess weight to lose. He just generalised, he would have written that in most reports!.

[@jom7276]

This info he gives is very helpful to me. Thank you.

[@vernekelley9356]

Hip replacement is not an option for my bilateral bone on bone, so...what do I have to lose? NOTHING! So...I've been doing this with the thought that stronger glutes, hip flexors and abs are good whether it helps my hips or it doesn't. Learning how to not fire my quads is my hardest challenge. I'm persevering...

[@nickyw.6485]

Dr David great video great advice my hopes are never to do surgeries balancing out between light weights and light walks much blessings

[@miken7629]

I went from walking like Biden, back to normal with this one exercise, Double Stair Steps. I use bottom two steps, step up to second step with left leg, then back down to base. Do double steps with left leg 100 times, then 100 double steps with right leg, repeat if you can. This is a serious workout that builds legs from your foot to hip. I started at 50 double steps each leg and now up to 500 each leg daily.

Hi doctor I have a question, I was diagnosed with mild stenosis as a result of a bulging disc in the L4-L5 , what is the root problem that should be addressed in this case, the bulging disc that is causing the stenosis or the lumbar stenosis itself?

[@Critter_Clips]

I've been stubborn and positive. I've been doing the exercises and following to the best if my ability but I've never gotten an answer back to a question that's important. I have to work, I've cut back as much as possible but I stand/walk 5-6 hours 4 days a week. It starts to calm down on the day off then flares back up after working. I feel better than a year ago but will it be possible to get this to work while irritating it every other day?
