Osteoarthritis shoulder & hip.

I am 52 and had hip resurfacing nearly 3 years ago. It has been fine and soon got back to playing badminton and walking, but over the last few months I am getting pain in the hip area and groin after walking a few hundred yards. Is this normal? I also have been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in my shoulder, which has caused a tear in the ligament. At my last consultant appointment it was suggested I have keyhole surgery to repair this, but that it may not work, which would result in having an operation. Has anyone out there had this keyhole surgery and if so how successful was it. At the moment the pain in my shoulders and arms is not so bad during the day, but does keep me awake at night.

I was recently diagnosed with a torn tendon in my right shoulder - apparently completely come away from whatever it should be attached to. The surgeon suggested operation but pointed out that 60% of those who have the op dont have any change, of the remaining 40%, 20% are better and 20% are worse, which in my book means only a 20% chance of success. The worst part though is the recovery with an arm out of action for several months I would lose my mobility as I need my arms to help get in and out of a chair/bed etc. There is an excellent website that my physio told me about which explains it all. www.shoulderdoc.co.uk.
Hope that helps and good luck :? pudsybear0
