Dr. Stryker: So when it comes to arthritis of the hip, it's not like we don't have options up until hip replacement surgery, we have a lot of things that we can do between you identifying or becoming aware that you have hip arthritis and then needing a hip replacement down the line. Probably the biggest one is activity modifications, avoid those activities that hurt it, you know, I can tell you that I actually have arthritis in my hip. And for that reason, there are certain things that I'm not going to do. So I'm not going to do yoga or Pilates with my wife because I know that some of those movements are actually going to aggravate my hip arthritis. The other thing we can do is we can take over-the-counter medications. Some of those are very effective in terms of anti-inflammatories, or analgesics like acetaminophen. And so if I know that if I'm going to be doing something that may aggravate my hip, I'm going to take those medications beforehand or afterward. The other thing that I personally do is I have a program that I do that I took up from a physical therapist to try and keep the muscles strong around my hip joint. We know that if we have well-conditioned, well-functioning muscles that are going to help in terms of hip function during activity and then also trying to avoid an operation down the road.
