My hip replacement is going to cost around $25,000 - and insurance will cover all except the first $9100 of it (I think - hope - that's the theory in any case, according to my insurance documents for next year).
So would I spend $40k or even $10k on a treatment that /might/ help? Nope. I'll go for the surgery and spend a couple of months being sore. I'm nearly bone on bone. My 3rd and final cortisone shot is starting to wear off.
