OA hurts and gets worse surgery hurts but gets better. The pain is a lot less there is no comparison I'm now day 11 post op. But be prepared mentally for the temporary disability it is a shock. I thought oh 90 degree rule would be easy I couldn't bend by right hip that much anyway. What I didn't appreciate was that I was accomplishing most daily tasks by violating some restriction or other. I have a grab stick and a sock aid for dressing a raised toilet seat and some stools to aid sitting in the bath to shower. Much of my day is resting my hips, my brain and the rest of my body. I do go out for little walks they are not easy in fact hard work a whole body work out, but I can at least say I enjoy walking now.
Good luck Tammy the time to your op will pass quickly.
