Any 30 somethings with 2 THR

[Guest guest]

Are there any younger people on the board with both hips replaced?

If so what is your quality of life like? I have one replaced and

will eventually need the other so just checking to see what it's like.

Thanks

I do, it improved my life by leaps and

bounds, not having the pain, being able to move the way I want to. Of course it

took getting used to because I have been dealing with pain since I was around

15, I got both hips replaced last year within two months of each other. It’s

just nice to be able to move around, sleep better, and give my dr a heart

attack when he catches me tying my shoes lol. Its odd, the one thing I looked

forward to the most was being able to tie my shoes. I used to be rather

athletic, surfing, roller hockey and such. Now its just body surfing, don’t

really even want to think about the hockey.
