Well its official, I am old! I'm 67 and just been told I have to have a hip replacement due to arthritis. The pain has been getting progressively worse since Christmas and inhibits normal daily activities most of us take for granted. My DH and I planned to do so much in our retirement and although I know there are a lot of people far worse off than me I cannot help but feel cheated of what should be 'our time' to enjoy the benefits of retirement. Have any of you lovely ladies (or gents) had a hip replacement and if so what are your experiences?

Likewise I’ve had a hip replacement, and life post op is fantastic. I can now do everything I want to do and I’ve managed to lose a lot of weight now that I can walk properly again. The only thing my consultant has banned me from doing is running seriously - but I’m not losing any sleep over that! Pre op I couldn’t physically get on my bike - I can now cycle for miles. Embrace a new hip - it really will give you your life back.
