Absolutely. There are 2 basic ways hip replacement is done. Anterior and Posterior. Anterior is a very simple recovery with almost NO pain at ALL! Posterior cuts more muscle and it is the muscle recovery that takes longer, has more limitations and pain. Please have this taken care of as it is truly very easy and you will immediately feel better. There are many surgeons doing this surgery. I used Dr Locker, in Ocala, and would recommend him without hesitation. If you have ANY questions please feel free to ask.
