Yes, had 2 oesteopaths tell me I have arthritis. It depressed me so much, but I have decided not to believe this. I am strengthening and stretching and I am so much better....its taken 18months. I was a figure skater, so Im now undoing decades of external rotation of my free leg, with deep internal rotation practise. You are so right about the brain signaling pain.... Im trying to turn off the [ain loop. I love to see your videos. Thank you for such positive content in a sea of negativity x

Hi Maks, Just came upon your video after cancelled my upcoming Hip Replacement surgery. Your message resonates. I have severe hip arthritis (stage 4) in both hips, left worse the the right. My biggest concern is the chain effect it has on the rest of my body with having bone on bone in my hips. An MRI shows degeneration in my L5 and S1. Its effected my mobility, pain is intermittent but I'm able to get long walks in and workout. It is an every day focus and I am caught up in should I have the surgery to get back to my where I used to be. Can you comment on my thought process?

Hey there! I think you made a wise decision to hold off on the surgery to explore other things and reflect. So kudos for that. The more MRIs and Xr-ays you get, the more diagnoses you'll receive. My suggestion is to focus on how you move and more importantly, how you interact with your discomfort. Changing these two variables can make dramatic changes in how you feel everyday. Good luck!

I was diagnosed with severe hip arthritis...have seen pts...chiros...surgeons who all agreed I needed surgery...I also have a dislocated sacrum and pelvis...I pronate when I walk and limp...after sitting I use a cane to get going again...I'm sure I also have weak muscles....BUT I still am putting off replacement surgery because I don't believe arthritis is the true cause of my condition....I don't really have hip pain...front thigh becomes very stiff prohibiting me to walk....BUT removing a joint because of arthritis doesn't sit well with me. Any suggestions?

Hey! I recommended getting clear on what you're trying to improve. If pain is not the problem, then what is? Some of these things you mention - weakness, stiffness - are things that can be improved through exercise. Strength training CAN help with weakness while flexibility work CAN help with stiffness - if done right. Once you get clear on a goal, it becomes easier to find direction and get advice from various coaches. Good luck!

Hi! You never discuss meds - have you ever…even in the beginning of your initial diagnosis…taken any?

Hey Andrea! Not really. Maybe a bit of Advil before I played basketball but never was prescribed anything.

Hello Maks. A simple question. What led to your hip pain ?
@MaksReznik Жыл бұрын
Woah Jose, that's anything but simple, man! Pain is one of the most complex phenomenons that exist. One of my philosophies in my own journey and when I coach others is not to put too much mental energy on WHY we're in pain. This is out of our control as there are unlimited possible reasons. Instead, I like to focus on what CAN be controlled - like learning how to move better and responding to pain sensations in a kinder and more mindful way.
