I have a genetically deformed femur that has destroyed my hip giving me severe arthritis. The orthopedic doctor that I am seeing wants to do a replacement as my hip is bone on bone. I am only 41 and the replacements seem to only last 15-20 years.

What I would like to know is how did your replacement go? How long was your recovery? How well is your mobility and are you able to do activities that you did before the replacement?

I can deal with the pain, but sometimes my hip will bind and not work properly. I am just nervous because if I decide to do it there is no going back.
