I had been uncomfortable for about three years before I decided to have my hip replaced.  At first I only experienced a stiffness after a long bike ride or run but later, it became an ache and then a sharp pain when simply walking up a flight of stairs. At that point, I couldn’t sleep through the night…

Did you know that October is more than just the month when you can enjoy pumpkin-spiced-anything-and-everything, binge on apple cider donuts, and layer on the flannel & oversized scarves?  While I certainly enjoy partaking in all the above, October is extra special to me because it’s also National Physical…
