Welcome Catman Trucker. Let me be the first to tell you that if you let it it`ll slow you down but if you keep exercising the muscles around the joint and keep them in shape you`ll be fine. I had a hip replacement two winters ago. I didn`t ride the first year but I have been this year. I bought an Xp and it works great for me. The seating and riding position keeps me comforable on the sled. I don`t jump or ride so that I may get a jolt to the hip but I climb and boondock with the rest of them. When I went to physio there were others that took alot longer to get out then what it took me. I believe its because I`m out there using my hip and not sitting on a couch or a desk. Who knows I may pay for all this in the future but for now I haven`t let it slow me down to much. like I said I try not to get an impact to the joint but everything else is ok by me. I ride a street bike(sport and cruiser), I quad, sled, and ride a mountain bike. My doctor doesn`t approve of everything I do, but what does he know,lol. What doctor are you going to? and are you on the waiting list yet?

to 4 xtreme thanks for information on the hip.I am going to doctor in leduc and he is referring me to a orthapedic surgeon i don't know yet who this is.I'm not crazy about getting this done but i have had 2 years of pain now.And it isn't easy doing anything.I was also told i have osterperosis in my spine and lower back some great news to here and told that the next 10 years will just become unbearable.But i am determined that i'm going to keep going on.I love trucking and sleedding and quading.Hope you and your family have a great 2008. Thanks again the catman trucker

Hey cat man trucker,welcome....
surgery is like buying a sled....gotta do your home work first...
after it's done, your kinda stuck with it or forover fixing..
I had DR.Ballik, he's out of the Greynouns Hospital...
He was able to fix some of my joints..
Heard some people are fine and some get worse,,,good luck
