Hi yall. Just found this forum and glad that I did. It's nice to hear from other people. I am 29 years old and my right hip is already collapsing from AVN. I just found out last week and my surgeon is recommending THR. I've been dealing with hip issues for over two years now but originally had an injury from playing disc golf and went to PT for months and that resolved the pain for about a year or so.
I'm conflicted now because the pain and immobility has returned. It's not highly painful unless I do a lot of physical activity. But I am always aware of my hip and have a hard time being comfortable with daily tasks. I think pain wise I could wait longer but don't want to get stuck waiting for surgery when/if it progresses more quickly for whatever reason. I also know I will have to have a revision since I am so young and potentially another one much later in life. Any encouragement about revisions as well?
