Good luck! Sounds like the procedure has been refined and you'll be better off for it. I am glad you are still able to ride and I commend you for taking care of yourself well enough to put it off the surgery. You're inspiring me to take some steps to better care for my hips. I've been having issues with them for a few years and probably should get back on Glucosamine and Chondroitin and either go back to PT or see a specialist. I am 38 but hope to also make it till at least my 60s before surgical intervention!
