I need a hip replacement

bluegirl52

Good morning, yesterday I had an appointment with Trauma & Orthopaedics and they informed me that my left hip is bone on bone and I need it replaced 😟 however as my BMI is to high they can’t operate at the moment so will give me an injection to give me some relief 😢 then I have 9months to get the weight down. I’ve an appointment to be referred to weight management with my GP but any suggestions will be gratefully welcomed 😀

Good morning @bluegirl52

I just replied to this post by @Nicj who is in a similar position to you:

I have added a couple of links to the thread, but maybe you can even support each other?

My best wishes
