Mac i had mine done 6 years ago when i was 50.....i just insisted i was was in severe pain....mind you the x rays showed i had bone on bone rubbing away...so had them both replaced.Need my left one done but am too young so they have palmed me off with pain killers for another 12 months.
Good luck.
Mrs Jimbo has been fobbed off for about 4 years as she’s “too young” for the op. She can barely walk at times because of it but nobody seems to want to do anything apart from an injection every 6 months, which offers about a weeks mild relief.Need my left one done but am too young so they have palmed me off with pain killers for another 12 months.
Good luck.
On his hip?Hope it goes well and you are able to get a good pre--season in so you can be back in time for 2021/22 in the Championship.

No experience at all. But all the best for the op and hope it brings you a better quality of lifeI'm pencilled in for a hip replacement op on on 10th May [hopefully]. Just wondering if other posters have had this op and their thoughts, recovery time etc. By then I hope we've confirmed our place in the play offs.
I know it well, it's within limping distance of Spotland.Hi Insider, hoping to be fit for the 20/21 season, having it done at the Highfield Hospital, Rochdale.
Good to hear. Think I've one coming up as its creaking a bit but cant really afford the time off work, but going in for a sort out soon.You are sore for a week or two and then its a slowish process of walking further and further each day. Some recover quicker than others.
If you are used to the Monday morning pain after playing on a Saturday and a Sunday and general football knocks you will be fine.
And just think, 22/23 season in the Premier League!Hi Insider, hoping to be fit for the 21/22 season, having it done at the Highfield Hospital, Rochdale.
I ** hope so, we need all the support we can get. Lend us your frameCheers everybody, I hope to be back in action before Gary Madine!
See you at park runGood luck with the operation Kevin.
I know a guy who had it done a couple of years ago in his seventies.
He was doing 5k park runs within 2 months of the op.
I'm having mine done on the NHS so no cost, but they can be done privately costs about £11,000to £15,000!Are these hip/knee replacements free or do they cost. Some may have caused early damage to joints so should pay full cost.
Cheers Dave, if I can get walking properly that'll do for starters! Hope to see and Wanda you at Bloomfield sometime !See you at park run
Joking aside why not,
make it a target and you have a running partner.
Will you be having gas?Good to hear. Think I've one coming up as its creaking a bit but cant really afford the time off work, but going in for a sort out soon.
Hope you make a full recovery anyway.
I've always had a slight methane propulsion system in operationWill you be having gas?
Oi Ballargh.I'm pencilled in for a hip replacement op on on 10th May [hopefully]. Just wondering if other posters have had this op and their thoughts, recovery time etc. By then I hope we've confirmed our place in the play offs.
Cheers Insider, yes Into The Highfield later today for the op [Monday}. Great that we're in the play-offs but I'll be a bagOi Ballargh.
Are you still going under the knife tomorrow?
Good luck if you are, I hope all goes well and in case you haven't heard we made the playoffs.
Oi Ballargh.

Epidural TOK.Will you be having gas?
Good look buddy. Relax you'll be fine. Epidural is painless honestly.Epidural TOK.
Aye ok, and how do you measure that? So if I've been a keen footballer, marathon runner and golfer whilst being a postman and worn my knees out, I should pay? What a strange comment on a thread someone has posted asking for advice.Are these hip/knee replacements free or do they cost. Some may have caused early damage to joints so should pay full cost.
You really need to have a X-ray and MRI, and talk to a specialist / consultant. The hospitals will be mainly interested in your X-rays. Your problem might be something else. Quite drastic having a hip replacement if there’s an easier fix.Can I ask you when you first had hip problems gents? A few years back I had really bad swollen glands down there which caused my hips and thighs to seize up and they’ve never really relaxed since, I recently tried jogging to strengthen the muscle and maybe allow it to relax but it had the opposite effect. Got swollen glands again a few weeks ago and since then my hips have got a lot worse again, snapping every time I turn a corner. Not really sure what to do, but I would give my left nut just to feel my hips relax again (though not sure the science is there for that yet!)
Is needing joints replacing hereditary?
