Hello
This is my 1st time posting. My doctor recommended me going onto this group as I'm struggling a lot at the moment with hip arthritis. I've recently been put on the waiting list for a hip replacement but it's affecting every aspect of my life and its starting to wear me down a bit.

@desfrites Welcome although I'm sure we both wish we didn't need to be here!
I understand all you say. I do hope you won't have to wait too long for your surgery date. I had my hip replaced six months ago and I can still hardly believe how much easier life is. Pain gone, each day I can do a little more - life is returning to my old normal and it is so good. Take care and I hope you will be following my journey soon.

I can't wait to be on your journey and start living again. Hopefully before I'm 50 I'll have my new hip and my life back. Thank you for your reply, take care and enjoy your new hip ♥️♥️♥️
