1. How about swimming? It's a great exercise (though not much for bone strength).

Can you do stationary bike with low resistance? Also are you near where you
might try xc skiing during winter? These are all things I've done.
Good luck; I know what you are going through as I am a former triathlete/xc skier/ mountain runner.
I still do the sports but don't compete anymore. I had severe osteoarthritis in my right hip
in my late 50s until I had hip resurfacing 10 years ago. It was an ordeal for me before and immediately after
my surgery.

You posted this back in 2015! Guess my suggestions are pretty moot by now. triron Sep 2018 #2
