@jacob0805 , I hate where you are at but you could not have needed it at a better time. I have been rehabbing hip replacements since the late 80’s/early 90’s and they have gotten so good!
Two pieces of advice.
- Ask around and get the most recommendations from the running community near you or, if you are willing to travel for surgery, from the people in the running community about who they trust most and their approach to surgery. Here is a resource for you:
https://www.hiprunner.com/ - Seek professional performance-related help. I wrote about this in another thread about knee replacement. Here is the link for that:
Recent Knee Replacement - 5 Month Old - #2 by Dr_Grove_Higgins
The link advises to reach out to a professional who specializes. Also, we wrote a certification to performance training joint replacements if you are interested.
Good luck and happy running again real soon! - Doc
