Hey Gang,

I posted a thread a while back describing a problem I was having with my right hip area. The symptom was when I leaned to the right as if picking something from the floor, I could "feel" and hear a slight popping noise coming from the hip region. After heading to my local Doc and a hip x-ray later, he's diagnosed me with having a severe case of arthritis. Are there any of you who have the same problem? I'm only 42 (easy on the jokes! ) and thought it was early in life to develop arthritis? Is it stemmed from being in a chair roughly 12 years? What complications other than pain should I anticipate? (pain shouldn't be an issue as I have no sensation in that region) I use a standing frame religiously, and stand 5 or 6 times a week for roughly an hour.

Just wondering what your thoughts were on this issue and I thank you in advance for your comments.
