I had my first hip replacement when I was about 23. Way back then they didn't know too much about replacements, so I did have some problems. But once the problems were solved, I felt MUCH better. They have come such a long way in the developements of any joint replacements. Years ago the scars were much bigger than the 3" scar today.


I have now had both hips replaced and walking around just like normal!

You do have to be very careful the first few weeks after surgery, but after that you should be just fine. And yes, the rehab afterwards is extremly important.


Here is a list of a few famous people that I know of that have had a hip replacement:

Barry Goldwater had both done - by my doctor!! (and yes, I know he is deceased now)

Eddie Van Halen - just saw him in November, and he was jumping around the stage!!

Dion Sanders - football player (acctually played after surgery )

Arnold Palmer - golfer - I think he had both hips done.

I know of a lot more, but now that I have to think of them I can't sorry!

But today it is a common surgery and you should have no problems whatsoever.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me at any time.

Good luck and you should be up, walking and most of all PAIN FREE!!!!!!
