Hi all. My name is Emma and i'm 37 yrs old,very happily married to my husband of 13 yrs and have two children,an autistic son who is 11 and a daughter who is 6. I was born with a dislocated right hip,which has been rebuilt twice already.Now I have degenrative arthritis in that hip and am waiting for a replacement.I was given a date of 7th October for that operation,BUT five weeks ago,i tripped and broke my left foot! Surgery has now been postponed until my foot has healed. My life is like a soap opera,i swear!
So currently in excruciating pain with my hip,nothing seems to work anymore pain wise,i can't sleep and i (and other people) can hear the bone clunking around as its moving so freely. (Sorry if thats TMI).
So thats me. xx

Well, emmaspoonie, you’ve certainly come to the right place. Arthritic hips and postponed ops ‘r us. Welcome.
Seriously though that can’t be much fun and having a broken foot, even if it’s on the mend, can’t be doing the hip much good. You don’t say what you’re taking for pain relief but it might be worth seeing your GP. Arthritis Care do a booklet on ‘Coping With Pain’ http://www.arthritiscare.org.uk/PublicationsandResources/Listedbytype/Booklets which you might also find useful.
Please just wander about here and dip in wherever you wish. We’re a friendly lot.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hello Emmaspoonie,
Welcome from me as well. I have OA and have had one hip replaced.
Luckily I was in my 50's before getting arthritis.....must have been awful dislocating it as a a baby and having to have it rebuilt
Just keep posting....people will have answers.
