Double Hip Rplacment

[Bradley Short]

Hello my name is Brad I am 42 I have had 3 back surgeries which resulted in 10 screws, 8 rods and 2 cages from S2/L2. I've had both hips fully replaced. Does anyone have any input or advice!

Wow, that sounds pretty intense!
I give you a lot of credit just for getting out there and playing. All I can say is:
1) Listen to your body.
2) Listen to your healthcare professionals.

Don't over due it, know your limitations.

Throw lighter discs and slow down your walk up.

I would recommend getting lessons from someone like Scott Stokely (his 6 month online course helped me a lot) so that you are using the correct form as to not reinjure yourself or give yourself new injuries.

1) Listen to your buddy.

Depends on who your buddy is, I'm not sure I would listen to many of mine.

I'm sure you meant body

Thx Silly! Yes, I meant body, and edited my post to say that.

You have had some major back surgeries. My wife has had some of the same type and I have an understanding what that amounts to. We all have to set our limitations and stay within them. My main limiters are my age and I've also had a knee replacement. I love the sport and get enjoyment out of it no matter how well I can play it. Just enjoy yourself and don't over do it.

Thanks to everyone I greatly appreciate your kindness! I have a slow few step walk up approach and I also use a one step throw!
I think I tend to twist my wrist on release because the disc ALWAYS goes to the left! No matter what I throw. Not every throw, I do try to correct this or figure out my throw and can get it pretty straight! When I was younger my gym teacher said I twist my wrist when bowling, not sure if this followed me into adult hood and disc golfing??

Disc golf is somewhat maddening in that it can be a lot of things. I've had a bunch of injuries (back surgery, torn rotator cuff, need both knees replaced, arthritis in my hands) and I'm throwing worse now than when I started. I've been really concentrating on trying to hold onto the disc (arthritis makes it hard to do) and in the process of doing that I started dipping my shoulder and throwing hyzers. The whole point was that the disc was slipping out of my hands and I was throwing all hyzers…the error is different, the result is the same. It can drive you crazy sometimes.
