Rick -
As it turns out, the problem is not with my hip. I do have arthritis there but the problems come from something that has returned to plague me after 65 years.
When I was 2 years old I had Polio. It seems that much of my problem today is the result of Post-Polio Syndrom. I'm about 20 years late in showing the symptoms - they usually pop up around age 45 - but the loss of muscle tone and balance seem to be a residual effect of the Polio. Go figure.
I go in to see the Physical Medicine specialist again tomorrow to get an update on his evaluation and hopefully to find out what I can do to improve the situation.
I guess I'll do what I have done with all my health problems in the last few years. I will do my best to keep going and turn as much of the worry as I can over to God.
