Richard, the last operation was a triple arthrodesis at 13! The foot is pinned, and it was a result of a club foot! Hope that helps- and thanks for your help

I have been struggling with arthritis of hips and wondering if anyone else has problems like this and if anything works for them such as a particular excercize, etc. My condition is very sensitive to weight, although I am not overweight by any measure, every lb. makes a huge difference. I am trying to find ways to work out and get my heart rate up in addition to biking. Any ideas? Swimming is so boring. Also, I am seeking a physician who specializes in such problems in Minneapolis area.

I’ve asked this question FOUR times now and Yahoo! Answers responded with ‘oops technical error’ every single time!
My dad has osteoarthritis and I overheard someone saying that it was a less aggressive form of cancer, is this true?

This guy is an 18m/o Border Collie, he came to me 3 weeks ago as a shelter pull. He was a stray with no known history, he had pneumonia, was 15lbs under weight and not eating, he was unable to sit and showed L Rear hip/leg swelling and pain to the touch for the first 3 days, 3 weeks later he is able to sit, run and jump on furniture comfortably. He was officially diagnosed with early stage Osteoarthritis and Osteosclerosis today. So far, I have been treating it with a good protein rich non-grain/corn diet, joint supplements (starting today), regular informal massages and a healthy weight maintenance program. My ideas so far for causes are; early prolonged nourishment, genetic/congenital, hindered circulation or auto-immune. Any details would be greatly appreciated.
