It's a difficult decision at 30

[Guest guest]

I don't know if you remember me. I posted few weeks ago.

I am suffering from an Osteoarthritis in both my hips since at least

2 years and i am only 30.

Thanks to you guys and to this group i have taken the final decision

of having a resurfacing which is a comon sense decision.

But now i am facing a mathematical equation.

I am 30 and my life expectancy is 40 years ahead (hopefully).

And we know that a THR can be done not more than 2 or 3 times at the

most.

Let's say each THR lasts for 10 years (average), 3 x 10 = 30 and i

am left with 10 years for the resurfacing.... BUT that is if i can

have 3 THR.

.... you see where i am getting at?

I know there are no proven research showing how long a resurfacing

lasts, but can any of you guys take a guess? or predict?

Mind you, it's a difficult decision but i have taken it already.

Thanks,
