    Hi Jo Ann,
    Well it's going to be an interesting one. Really hope that it goes well for you and you get some reassurance when you go.

    Have you got anybody going with you?

    The advances that are happening give us all a glimmer of hope.

    It will be great to hear how you get on.

    Hi Jo-Ann,

    good luck for Tuesday go prepared with a list of questions to ask. Hopefully you wont have to wait long for the procedure and then you will be able to focus on the rehab and recovery and looking to better mobility and no pain.

    We will all be following your treatment with interest and there to support you as you are pioneering this treatment.

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.
