I am away for a few days, in hospital actually, having an op on my hip. It started getting really painful about a month ago, and eventually my entire leg was in agony. I thought I must have done something at gym so went to a chiropractor and for physio, but nothing helped so eventually went to my GP who sent me to an orthopedic surgeon, and after an MRI scan they found I have a condition called Avascular Necroses,where there is no blood supply to the hip joint and the bone is dying. I am having a core decompression op to try to restore blood supply which has a 70% chance of success. If that does not work it is a hip replacement!! It is a hip replacement anyway in the future as there is damage already done to the bone, but hopefully this op will postpone it for a few years.I am still in shock as it all happened so suddenly and I am perfectly fit and healthy. And I think I am still fairly young! But apparently it is not age related, just one of those weird things that happen!

Great that you caught it early. I have had a hip and both knees replaced due to arthritis. Hip surgery, should you need it, is by far the easiest and you'll be up and about again in about 6 weeks to 3 months without the cane. The best advise I can give is do the exercises they give you, do them several times a day, religiously. This will totally determin your success. Slippery boxers and/or nightgowns will make turning in bed much easier, and slippery fabric or even a plastic bag on the vehicle seat will make getting in and out much easier as pivoting is a bi...! Good Luck

Thanks for such a great freebie!! Now I'm off to go USE it! :-)

Oh, gracious! I'm so sorry about your hip! Isn't it wonderful that if you need a replacement it can actually be done, though? Lots of people over the ages haven't had access to such great medical care as we have. Best of luck with it! And thanks for the cute freebie, of course.
