My right hip started hurting this past August. The pain was not significant just a small distraction. I saw a Doctor in late Aug and he advised that I need a THR. My pain level was not significant and I asked for a second opinion and finally saw a Dr. at Loma Linda in Nov. by this time my pain level had increased and I was have problems sleping. I am a very active 67 and still work as a personal trainer, and active as a golfer, cyclist and skier . I did considerable research on THR and decided that an anterior THR would get me back to the things I love in the least amount of time. The Dr. I chose took additional xrays and even I could tell that there was signicant difference from the 1st X-ray (Aug) and the one from Dec 3 as well as my constant pain. I have 8 days to go and Dec 22 will not get here soon enough. I will keep you posted.
