Story Acquired by Vicky Marlow

I am a physical therapist from Lake Placid, NY. I had an insidious onset of right hip pain approximately three years ago which gradually but progressively intensified.  X-rays revealed extensive (bilateral DJD), and my local orthopod was all set to give me a total hip replacement. I did an  extensive amount of research, and came across the resurfacing technique. Intuitively  it just made sense to preserve as much natural bone as possible, so I  consulted with Dr Michael Clarke in Syracuse, NY.  I had surgery on  2/28/07,  and I am scheduled to have the L one done on 4/30/08.  I had an excellent  outcome on my R side, and experienced a significant improvement in pain  and  function. This past year  I've been able to return to cycling (road and  mountain), hiking, fishing, hunting, alpine and nordic skiing, and weight  training... all with no pain. I am confident the L side will go as well.

I would be happy to answer any questions anyone might have about the  surgery,  rehab, etc.
