My right hip was total toast, probably from a long life of hard heavy work carrying heavy loads on my right side for years.
In Dec. 2015 I had so much trouble getting around with pain I didn't move much. Golf was no longer fun, by the 6th hole
I would try to continue to play with tears in my eyes from pain. Jan. 4, 2016 had hip surgery, and oh my God, I'm a new man.
It has given me my life back. The few weeks of modest to minimal pain of recovery was nothing for me. I even quit taking
the pain script provided after 15 days. I was out golfing in five weeks and walking again 2 to 3 miles a day 5 days a week.
My game did not improve, but I love it again.
