Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Thanks for the feedback on doctors. I sent a note to Dr. Gross's assistant yesterday to see how I start the process, if I'm qualified & if my HMO will cover the procedure. I'm going to shoot for October if that fits in their schedule. A few questions: 1) Does anyone have any feedback on if HMOs are covering this type of procedure? 2) My X-Ray looks like the cartilage is about gone, so how long can I wait before I will no longer be a candidate for resurfacing? Could October be too late, or is that too difficult to predict? 3) Elbow Crutches? Just saw a post that said to get elbow crutches instead of the under arm style. Do those work better and are a lot of people using them? I never thought much about if before. Couldn't sleep tonight, pain in the hip and thinking about the whole replacement process. Just when I thought my hip wasn't bothering me that much, it was killing me yesterday. Thanks Everyone for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
