Should Undergoing Hip Replacement For Chronic Pain Invoke Fear?
I am about to undergo total left hip replacement in a couple of weeks. Am 53 year old female and have been having chronic pain for the past 17 years and of course have gotten worse the past two years. I am just a little afraid at this point as it sounds like such an invasive surgery and complicated recovery time. I am worried about any complications Also is there anything I should be worried about?

Hi,
I have read your problem.
You should not be worried about complications after total hip replacement. Medical science has been so much advanced that, even if you have systemic disease like hypertension , diabetes etc. no complication occurs after surgery.
You should without any hesitation consult your doctor for total hip replacement.
I hope you have got your answer.
Thanks.
