Many of you know I had a hip replacement earlier this year at just 34! 😭
I was born with hip dysplasia, a condition where the hip socket doesn’t provide enough coverage of the ball, which can place extra stress on the joint and increase the risk of early arthritis.
Unfortunately, after years of running (including more than 10 marathons!), my hip had become significantly arthritic, and a hip replacement was my best option.
My other hip has the same condition, so I’m continuing to work on my strength to support the joint and keep doing the things I love.
Sharing my story to raise awareness that hip pain in younger people isn’t always just a muscle or tendon issue. 💙
