Hi Everyone!

DeeJay_37

I'm Gin and am waiting for a double hip op but with no idea how long I'll have to wait for surgery dates. Up until recently I was extremely active but now feel a little 'down' with the extent to which my hip pain/walking gait has restricted my movement. Would appreciate any words if wisdom for keeping positive!

Welcome to the forum, @DeeJay_37

I see that you are waiting on a double hip replacement, but are currently feeling a bit out of sorts as the pain is curtailing your movement. Here are some links to information:

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/treatments/surgery/hip-replacement-surgery/

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/managing-symptoms/managing-your-pain/

and finally, to a thread on the forum where members discuss their hip replacement experiences:

Good luck with the operation and let us know how you get on.
