Hip replacement advice
My hip is hurting when I sleep and can't walk many miles without some pain. Now I wonder if it is time to have the hip replaced? I heard there are new ways that would be easy, quick recovery and not much pain. Is this wishful thinking?

Dr. Messieh 352-243-6899 fixed my hip and I recovered after 2 weeks and ready to play golf but dr. Wanted me to wait 6 weeks....He is in his office on Wednesdays only. Highly highly recommend.

I would definitely see a doctor first to see if there are other options. I have had 2 friends go through this, both were out of commission for about 6 weeks, but if I recall correctly, one was able to delay the operation for 1 or 2 years with other treatments.

It could be a bursa if it's the outside of your hip that hurts. I would go to pain management doc for evaluation. Injections may be all you need. I could not walk from one end of Publix to the other the pain was so bad. Bursa was cause, injections solved the problem.

Dr Joseph Locker / Ocala.

I had two knees and a hip replaced, the hip was the easiest. The previous method was to enter from the rear, the current method is to enter from the front. Less invasive and faster recovery time. I used Dr. Ethier and more than satisfied.

I would go to a highly recommended orthopedic hip doctor. I had my knee replaced and I knew when I needed to go. Asking people on this op about your hip is irrelevant. Ask a qualified doctor.

Try Stretch Zone before you submit to surgery.

Hip replacement is not like an oil change, go to your doctor. Self diagnosis is for fools.

Go to a podiatrist! I could barely walk due to hip pain. Went to a foot doctor, got the right shoe inserts, walked out of the office pain free and have been for over a year. Conservative is the best first option!

Thank you all. Heading to the doctor.

Hip Replacement
I had my hip replaced by Dr Messieh and can truly say that I never experienced a bit of pain after the surgery. But all avenues should be explored before having any body part replaced!
