My right hip was replaced July 2021, so I'm nearing 14 months post op. My first is about…

Im 27 and i feel so much older, im stiff (even though still hypermobile) and in so much pain constantly. Im hopping between relief (at finally having answers) and grief. If anyone is willing to chat, that would be amazing…

It got to the point where I couldn’t walk and was limping to school every morning. I can’t work cause of the pain so all I do is sit at home and sleep. Anyone else in a similar position ? Does it get…
