I would like to know , if I don t have hip surgery, knowing that I have no cartilage left in my hip, will my daily function worsen or just stay the same? I have had two knees replaced and one hip replaced . I am eighty yrs old , I prefer not to through another operation if I can ovoid it. I am worried about the anesthetic used and I could have a problem with recovery, as I have heard older people possibly might notregain all their senses. Thank you. YYYY@YYYY
