If PPS has weakened your muscles and altered your gait and stance that could exacerbate arthritis in your hips and knee joints. I was told around ten years ago that I have arthritis in my left hip which was a surprise as I wasn't in any pain nor was my mobility impaired in any way. Nothing has changed since. I don't have PPS but I do have a slight deformity in my legs which affects my gait so maybe that is to blame.

If you are worrying about it, talk to a professional. Good luck
