Man this sucks. I found out recently that I've torn some cartilage inside the socket of my hip. The doctors were having a hard time finding out why that happened, but after viewing some x-rays, I've now been diagnosed with hip dysplasia (normally found in infants before it gets bad), which is a genetic condition where the hip sockets are not deep enough to hold the femur in one firm spot.
So the treatment is as follows: Prescription anti-inflammatory meds plus physical therapy, and then see how things go. If things go badly, then I'll need surgery where they cut me open, dislocate my hip, repair the damage, re-attach my femur, and then sow me up again.
I was doing cardio exercise every day until this happened, and since I cant really use the one leg, its hard to use just the other, so are there any cardio workouts I can do that don't involve the legs?
Cliffs:
Hips are screwed because of genetics
Can't do cardio involving legs ATM
What now?
EDIT: The pain doesn't normally come from pressure on the joint weight wise (including impact), its more of a range-of-motion issue
