    Hello @Jashcroft_123 welcome to the online community

    You are awaiting a hip replacement caused by avascular necrosis and are wondering if any of our members have had a similar experience. As you might expect we are very familiar with joint replacements due to osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis conditions and hope that among our members there will be some who have had a similar causal condition as yours.

    On the community information pages we have a number of links about THR and numerous threads from members describing their experiences leading up to and post operations some of which I attach. Everyone's recovery will be different however there are common themes which are helpful and which I hope will help you as well.

    https://community.versusarthritis.org/discussion/55224/hip-replacement-tips#latest

    We are all being encouraged to exercise to keep our muscles and joints as flexible and mobile as possible so I have included a link to the VA exercise programme for when you are ready.

    We hope all goes well for you in two weeks and that you will stay in touch with us to let us know how you are getting on.

    Best wishes

    Poppyjane
