I have been told I have extreme disintigration of the hip & that there is really no alturnative to the op.
Thanks for the information, much better to hear from people who have experianced something first hand.
I should have said I am a 52 year old female & the dcotor I was seeing up until March had told me it was arthritus. After 3 years of steadly increasing pain & finding I could only walk very slowly for about half hour I demanded a diffrent doctor in the practise who arranged for x-rays & results recieved inside 4 weeks. I will be going into Colchester Hospital.
Thank you again for your time
Cathy
