Hi Everyone,
I just joined for some support through Rehab. Pretty scared but excited too I am 52. If I don't get this done I will be way worse in a year. Problem caused by dislocated and fractured pelvis as a teenager. I have opted for the metal on plastic because my doctor had a horror story on the metal on metal where it caused some sort of toxic infection that rotted the joint. He won't do them anymore. Nervous about the 90 degrees limitation but will live with it.
One question, after rehab and hip is strengthened suffciently can you feel pain prior to dislocation if you push the movement past 90 degrees or does it just pop out? I kayak and know I have to be careful but was just curious if the body warns you if you push the range of motion too far?
Thanks
