Does your hip feel like rice krispies?
Mine sure did! Mostly walking up the stairs I could feel and hear the crackling and grinding of the bone-on-bone action in my right hip. The advent of these sounds and feelings was about 6 months prior to my resurfacing operation; the wearing away of my cartilage was rather sudden at the end. The other times I could sense this crackling were when I put all my weight on my bad leg / hip to put my sock on my left foot- the noises were pretty audible!
The good news is that after the operation those sounds and fellings are gone! The pain is gone as well- I will hit 6 weeks on Monday.
Good luck!

:) I get them in the same situtations. It is amazing how quickly you can go from bad to worse. Glad your recovery is going well. At 6 weeks you should be over the hard part.
