Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I am from old (old) dairy farming stock and went through a gallon of milk a day for my adolescence. My bones should be as stout as stout gets.

I'm not sure you adductor will ever be 100%. It's weird, as even now, I struggle to tie my left shoe whilst sitting down. I blame it on age, as it gets better every year. The walking thing will just happen. One day, I realized I wasn't walking without a limp. Same with running. It'll come back, even though it's not at all important to me, but your case is certainly much different.

The shower seat we got was magic. Even now, I wish I were still using it.
Not 100% but able to run sounds weird?

I think dietary intake is a necessary, but insufficient, factor in stout bones.

Yeah, I had laid off the squats because I assumed that it put to much stress on my old knees...But last week a personal trainer told me not to worry about it and to start doing them again. Damn her.

The in-laws look at real estate every time we come here. Maybe one of these times.

Yes. Even through racing season I'm doing 15-20 reps. Body weight-ish, but the maintenance helps. FWIW, we're getting heavy now, and it will continue through January. It'll start tapering a bit in February because the season starts in March.

Of course, I'm no Doctor, but your knees will be the last thing that you'll mess with when you do squats. I'm sure you know... If your form is proper, squats are the best thing you can do because it works a whack of stuff in the old bad. Dead lift is decent as an accompaniment. If you get to the point where form breaks down, back off on the weight until you regain it. Grinding is bad.

I'm not sure what you're saying, but I don't like to run, though I can. My adductor is still tight on that side, but it functions pretty well. When I lean over to tie my shoe, my leg/knee kicks out. Not like it did at the start, but it still does a bit.

Okay - now solve the LPLO.

Latest development: I've found that LPLO can be worked around by switching between mobile and desktop modes. Get an LPLO on desktop, switch your browser to the mobile version, click on the last page and it'll happily take you there. Upon switching back to desktop mode, the page will remain unlocked, whether or not you've posted. The reverse works if you experience the rare mobile LPLO on the phone, too.
