Cartilage doesn't show up well on x-rays. Generally, when an x-ray is done for suspected cartilage issue, they are looking more at the surrounding tissues and bones for injury/changes that are indicative of cartilage damage. Cartilage is much clearer and defined on MRIs. That's a great point, but I could have sworn that a doctor told us that with an X-ray they are looking at the separation between the ball and the pelvis to see the overall separation, which would indicate the amount of cartilage that still remains. I guess that would only show bone-on-bone (severe) deterioration, though. Yeah when I went to the doctor because I was in so much pain when I walked, I was 44 mind you, they took an ex-Ray and he knew right away I needed 2 hip replacements because it was practically bone on bone. He did send me for an mri too which I don’t understand because he had me make an appointment for the hip replacement. It was like 4 months later though because he was so booked. He also was the doctor for the University Miami sports teams.. it’s been 8 years and knock on wood, still working.

Madonna would be appalled if she knew a thread about her turned into a thread about aches, pains and hip and knee replacements. Definitely. But I feel like it's completely appropriate!

I’ve been watching clips from the tour. Madonna has always been a staunch ally and was a huge supporter and fundraiser at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
During “LiiveTo Tell” she plays a photo array of those lost to the disease, submitted by their loved ones. It’s powerful and sad. A whole generation of young men and women lost.

She's starting to look like Joan Crawford.

I think she looks quite nice there. Not overly puffy or pulled. Not crazy about the hair, but overall not bad

Some of these are just bad shots taken when she's dancing, or pulling a stupid face. There's enough ridiculousness from her to keep us amused, without criticising her for daring to entertain while old.
Having said that, her wigs are terrible.
