Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Hi! I am new to all this and have been reading all your messages for about one week. I am impressed by all the information shared. Three years ago 2 different OS told me that I was bone on bone at the hips. Of course, this explained the pain I had been experiencing even when walking short distances. At any rate, getting into my mini-van is difficult and painful, I cannot walk more than 1/4 mile without experiencing excruciating pain....but... I can still ride my bicycle for 50 miles or more. I do not remember how I first became aware of hip resurfacing but after some research it seems to be the way to go for me. I'm 56 and have always been very active. My main question is this: most of the stories I read about here involve going to England and Belgium for the resurfacing procedure, even though there are OS doing the procedure here in the US. Why? Is it just the greater amount of experience? Thanks, DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
