Don’t wait, you’ll eventually have it done and kick yourself for not having it done sooner. I’ve had both mine replaced, as well as one knee. My first replacement was about thirty years ago. The procedure and prostheses designs are hugely better now. The rehab these days is much shorter, only a couple of weeks rather than months. Truly a life-changing procedure.

Pick an experienced orthopedic surgeon who does the procedure using the ANTERIOR approach. That foreshortens the recovery time dramatically.
