Hi Renee, I would suggest having a consultation with a surgeon who does the anterior hip replacement for a much quicker recovery with fewer possible complications. Good luck!

Hi Sandy. I am so sorry to hear about your struggles. I hope you can get the support you need to address your issue with pain medication, now that you know the cause. Wishing you the best for a full recovery after surgery.

I to was told about a week ago that my left hip I needed it to be replaced, I ain’t scared of the surgery it’s the pain medication I’ve been on for a year and with that I now have bad withdrawals see I had been to several doctors that didn’t pick up the hip issues until last week so I have been suffering for a year not knowing anything other than my leg hurt 24/7 and pain meds is how I managed, but the chronic pain has rewired my brain and it’s all of that sort of mess that keeps me worrying and keeps me up every night .

Hi Judy. Yes, mine is also ceramic and titanium. Sorry to hear about your brother but glad he it all turned out well for him. I agree re: educating ourselves. No, I haven’t watched the Bleeding Edge; I will have a look for it. Thanks for sharing that. Susan

I’m 58, moderate to severe arthritis in lt. hip, bone-on-bone in right. Had the right one done anterior. It is ceramic and titanium.
What is yours? My brother has his done in his 40s, but they kept dislocating. Had to have 5 different surgeries total (originals were recalled). Final ones done in 2007 and he’s doing great. Did you watch the Bleeding Edge on Netflix btw?We all need to educate ourselves. I asked my surgeon and he said he has seen it. It does give you pause where metal is concerned.

Hi Jesi, Yes, I guess some things have changed since I had mine. I am so glad to hear you can continue running if it’s something you love. Part of the reason I was told not to run is because I have hip dysplasia on the other side and they it could hasten the need for a THR on the other side. I am so glad to hear that you found a surgeon that you like. Wishing you the best in surgery, and life beyond. Susan

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am glad to hear it all worked out despite the bump with a pulled muscle. Yes, you’ll have a better idea what to expect this time around. Wishing you a smooth surgery and recovery.

Hi Pam. I can imagine you are feeling overwhelmed. Since mine was in 2016 the guidance and recommendations may have changed since then with regards to preventing infection so I can’t help with specifics. I wish you all the best! Susan
