Join me on my healing journey!
I’m raising awareness about very underdiagnosed medical conditions.
I had a hip replacement 3.5 years ago. It’s never felt right, and lately, the pain has gotten worse—while my other hip has actually improved. So, I went back to have it checked.![]()

The doctor looked at me and said, 'Well, you could lose some weight.'![]()

I told him: 'I already lost 45 pounds since the hip surgery. What’s left is Lipedema, and I can’t have surgery to remove it.' (Cue me having to explain Lipedema and my other conditions—again.)![]()

Then he hit me with: 'Just exercise. That’s also the cure for Fibromyalgia too. Just get on a bike.'![]()

A bike?! My pain started when I was training for triathlons, doing metric century rides, Pilates, yoga, and CrossFit. I can’t even sit on a bike—no matter what seat I try, it hurts amd it hurts to pedal.![]()

He says, "Try a recumbant bike" - yes did that for a year in PT, but it caused pain in that hip. If I wasn't in pain before I started, it triggered the pain and was worse after.![]()

His next brilliant suggestion? 'Then get in the pool. Go for a walk.'![]()

Yes, doc, these are all things I do—except when I’m in pain! You make it sound so easy, as if I hadn’t already tried all of this before. 🙄
