Hip resurfacing

I have been diagnosed with the following a year ago:

Right Hip: " There is quitemarked degenerative change of the hip with

joint space narrowing, sclerosis of the articular margins and

subchondral cyst formation within the femoral head. A collar

ostephytic spur is seen about the femoral head.

Impression: Degenerative change of the right Hip

My own GP here in Calgary is suggesting I may not be eligible for hip

resurfacing because the hip might be too damaged. I am on a waiting

list to see Dr. Jim McKenzie in Calgary in early 2005. I am in the

process of geeting new xrays done for Dr. Treacy in England.

I know everyone is different but has anyone had a similar diagnose

and what does it mean. For those of you who have gone to Belgium for

the procedure, can you tell me approximately how much it costs to get

a BHR there? I am very frustrated with the whole medical system

right now.

Please help.

Chris
