Hey eveyone I'm back feels like a long day! Over an hour and half waiting for my appointment, then an xray to my nerves are shot..

Good and bad news I think, Consultant gave me option to have hip replacement, but as I'm only 34 I've decided to leave it for a little while if I can, as I'll prob hav another Hip replacement in my 40's he said! I';m sure loads of people are already on there 2nd hip replacement.

Got to loose the weight, easier said than done.. and do more swimming and keep with the Hydrotherpy.

But on the down side the OA has spread from the left hip into the right hip now and prob with have to have a hip replacement in that one too!!

Trying to keep postive but did have a little cry earlier and my partner was with me so thats fab !

Thank you all for ur pocket duties and hugs and messages many thanks

Hi Tilly
Sorry Im late, I bet you are shattered...these appointments really take it out of you.
I have to have both hips replaced but I am 61 so it is understandable...but if it will make your life a lot easier it will be worth it.
Look at it this way, the younger you are the quicker you recover.
Wishing you well with whatever you decide.

Hi Tillypink

I am 38 and am going in on 5th August to have both my hips replaced. I have had osteoarthritis since I was a child and have been needing my hips replaced for years but like yourself I have put it off due to my age. At my hospital appointment last month my surgeon told me that the time had come to go ahead with the replacements as my quality of life is so poor. Surgery gets more and more advanced as time goes on and my surgeons assured me that having both hips replaced at the same time is very successful. I will keep you posted as to how my surgery and recovery goes and maybe it will make you feel more positive for the future. Sorry that your arthritis has spread to your other hip and you will feel a bit down about things for a while. I am looking at having my hips replaced as a whole new beginning for me and hopefully I will get to do all the things I cant do just now. Thinking of you and I am here if you have any questions or just need someone to moan to .

Love
