Andy, my boyfriend has to go for a cat scan next month as he also needs a hip replacement! He is only 40 and has osteoarthritis in his hip and has been unable to work for almost two years! He has loads of other treatment including a steroid implant. Unfortunately this treatment didnt work and the doctors have advised a replacement! He too is worried about the outcome....but says the best thing will be that he will be able to go back to work properly! Bev |

A neighbour of my Mothers had a fall five years ago and broke her hip. She had the replacement and made a full recovery. Nothing unusual in that except she celebrated her 100th birthday in December. Going to the other extreme a friend of ours (28) had his done last year. The first time we saw him after the op he looked ten years younger because the pain had gone. |

Andy My mum had a knee replacement (supposed to be more difficult than hips) in her 70's. She did all the exercises afterwards as she was shown and it gave her a new lease of life. Good luck-I'm sure it will be fine. Chrissie |

Pending the hip replacement, I've been to St Albans general for my pre-op assessment. All is fine, but I had to go for another xray of the pelvis, take the film up to the assessment unit. So I sneaked a look! UUurgh! my left hip is almost a third of the way out of the socket going upwards. Bugger! I wondered why my left leg is now half an inch shorter than my right! I'm terrified of the outcome! |
