Herniated spinal disc/degeneration to a diagnosis today of needing a bilateral hip replacement
Hi everyone ☺
I'm 51, I've already had a diagnosis in 2020 of a herniated disc and degeneration in 2 other discs in my spine. Today, I had an appointment with Orthopaedic's for severe hip pain. Diagnosis suggest I need a bilateral hip replacement. It feels really strange to mention this but I feel relieved that I finally have clarity for the pain I've been feeling

Welcome to the forum, @Mummykub
It’s not strange, it is always better to know what you are facing!
I see that had a 2011 diagnosis of a herniated disc with two other discs degenerating and that you now need a bi-lateral hip replacement.
