Hello dear I understand your concern Following are the indication of hip replacement surgery: Moderate to severe arthritis in the hip, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis, that causes pain and/or interferes with daily living like - Difficulty in Walking, going up stairs, and bending to get in and out of chairs is difficult - Moderate to severe even while resting, and may affect sleep - Joint degeneration has caused stiffness that affects the patient’s range of motion during normal activities; - the patient may also have a limp - Symptoms are not adequately alleviated by non-surgical treatments, such as NSAIDS, physical therapy, steroid injections So I would suggest to consult the joint replacement surgeon and take proper advise after detailed examination and history.
