I'm going in the 15th. Sinai, Baltimore Maryland.Pretty freaked, but in soooo much pain that I'm somehow looking forward to it. I'm officially off the NSAID's. Everything hurts waist down! (well not everything) Hips Knees ankles... I'm 48 and have been a surgical candidate for some time now. I was told.."wait until your 50..Let pain be your guide" My quality of life has really suffered, I'm pretty desperate for a positive outcome, that said I'm nervous. Was driving home from work last week almost pulled over a couple of times to throw up. Pain sucks...anyway.. trying to look forward and be positive! I'm Having Bi-lat a week apart. Is this common? Safer than both hips at once? I assume post op and recovery is complicated. Any Bi-Lat folks care to comment? I read Lefty wasn't impressed with the acute rehab joint they sent him to. Any Marylanders speak well of a good rehab place? Does anyone have a realistic view of when I might go back to a desk job? Despite the earlier pessimistic paragraphs I am looking forward. Certainly 100% of anyone I've spoken to said the procedure is life altering..I waited too long etc... Just looking for guidance the next 10 weeks or so Thanks-

Hallo,I am 32 days post my right hip resurfacing.I feel very good and I can walk about 3-4 km daily(with 2 crutches).But I think,it is very little known that in Czech Republic are at least 3 medical centers executing the hip resurfacing.I´d my surgeon at Second Faculty Orthopedic Clinic Motol in Prague,by doc.MUDr.Tomas Trc.I hope and I wish that his name will be added to others significant surgeons. I thank him for his skilled and golden hands.
