I totally agree with both posts above. We were all apprehensive to put it mildly. Now looking back, my recovery went faster and was easier than I had anticipated plus I totally lost all that hip pain. I could once again walk and move about pain free which felt like a miracle. You, too, will soon have your life back. You are lucky to have found this website before your surgery as the help, advice and support on here is wonderful. I’m not sure what I would have done without BoneSmart members there to offer encouragement and support. Be sure to ask any questions you might have as I’m sure someone will have an answer. I wish you well.
