Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I'm 35 year old male (UK) - who suffers from moderate pain (no drugs yet) reducing range of movement. At the moment I can live with it- however will have to consider a hip resurface (probably on both sides) I'm trying to leave the procedure as long as possible. Disregarding the pain issue. Is there any reason why I should do it sooner rather than later?? Am I damaging the part where the cap goes in or the femour by carrying on without getting it done?? My Plan is to get an annual X-Ray and consultation with the surgeon - so that if it deterioates rapidly I can spot it before its to late to have a resurface. I'm going to see the resurfacing surgeon in 2 days time and any advice on what to ask would be appreciated. Mind goes blank when I'm in front of a Dr then fills up as soon as I walk out.. Thanks alot Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
