it is no fun to have hip pain, but know that it can be fixed! you have good doctors over there! they have been doing HR longer than the doctors here in the USA!! go to a good doctor is you can. even if you have to wait a bit longer - at your age you want the surgery to last as LONG as possible... if you go to a newer doctor, you run a higher risk of them making a mistake and then you have to redo it and go to a THR... no thanks!
I was in a lot of pain as I got closer to surgery. I was in a ton of pain the last year or two... i just dealt with it my doing no real major physical activity and by taking aleve and pain killers. there were many nights I took aleve and vicodin to go to sleep.
are you single/married/kids? if you are single, do you have familyl you can live wiht while you do the surgyer and maybe have no job? if you aremarried and have a spouse and kids depending on you - you are in a tougher situation. I was lucky and had been at my job almost 15 years and had a lot of sick time saved up...but i'm 10 years older than you at 38. i'm sorry you have the problems you do. I was having hip pain at your age, but it was starting... it took ten years to get to the point where I was immobile....
maybe you will last longer than the doctor thinks?? i saw a doctor in 2007 who said i was close to being bone on bone...and he dind't htink i woudl last much longer, and I made it until 2011... 2009 and 2010 were painful years... but I didn't run, dind't do any sports... my job is pretty much a desk job..and the only activity i coudl do was upper body weight lifting,s wimming, and bike.. i had a hard time pedaling if i sat down,, but it i was standing on the pedals I coudl ride... it was no fun to give up som much activity... i couldn't run, had a hard time playign with my kids, hiking was out... lots of things I missed out on...bu tI just want' ready to do it.
if you are ready to do the surgery but have to wait for $$ reasons, or ned to wait foteh ridhgt docotr, you could probalby make it.. heck, go to crutche if you have to...
no matter what happens... just know this - you can be fixed! I was in your shoes a few months ago...and now I am pain free. it is liberating. i can lay in bed at night and just relax.. mmy hip doesn't throb anymore like it used to. i can zip up and down stairs with zero pain. i feel like a new person. like i got y life back.. there were a few times in the past few weeks were the realization that I was fixed made me get tears in my eyes.. iit was emotional.... peopel on this website who have been there know what I mean.... you have this sense that your life as you know it is over and then sudenly you get it back... and that feeling is overwhelming..
you will get there. just be patient. be glad we live ina time when doctors have the means to fix what is wrong with us. itw as not long ago that people in our shoes had no choice but to suffer the rest of their lives with this pain..but we can be fixed. I was and you will be.
best of luck to you my friend
