I’ve been told I can have a hip replacement. The pain has been building up for the last couple of years so dragged myself to GP.
Long story short. X-rays, consultation with specialist nurse. I hadn’t realised I was at that stage but she assured me the choice was mine.
Questions I never thought to ask I’ve reading up or Googling.
Can anyone answer these? This business of not crossing legs or sitting at an angle of less than 90 degrees...is that temporary or forever after this operation?
I’ve never had anaesthesia or any operation before. The only time I’ve been in hospital was a couple of days having the children.
There must be plenty on here who have had this operation and can advise me on the long term benefits or otherwise.
