Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 NO, Celeste it isn't true I have had 3 left hips and 3 right shoulders by the age of 54 years. So this last hip I managed to dislocate, when it needs doing again it will be number 4. I cross my legs at the knee sorry know shouldn't but never had a problem, I couldn't and wouldn't do it early on it would have been a long time post surgery before I did do it, I can cut my toe nails but can't get in and out of a bath tub because of my shoulders not the hips or knee.   mary.waspe@...

If so then what happens?? My OS is surprised I am not in more pain that I am...I am bone on bone end stage hip failure complete w/bone spurs. I am not in horrible pain unless I ride my horse. I do ache and sometimes get sharp pains that only last a few seconds...either I have a huge tolerance to pain or I just do not understand how much pain others are feeling at my stage of the disease...
