  • My DR. says my HRS needs to be redone. It was done 10 years ago. I am 79.

  • I'm a sickle cell Patient with Avascular Necrosis. I'm 15 and the docter told me today I might as well do it Cause I'm not going to grow much anymore. I'm just way to scared cause I think I'm 5"6 and my Dreams of being a Football player for my HS team or basketball or all the Sports I imagined I would be doing will be crushed... WHy couldn't docters tell me sooner that I might get this? how could blood just stop going to my Hip? I pray evry night I will get healed...But I'm scared...

  • Arthritis is a nutrient deficiency and can be fixed usually within 10 days on Isagenix nutrient shake. No hip replacement is needed. Stay away from processed foods and go organic for added nutrients.

  • my mum had had 7 hip replacements! during the last one she was given lower leg nerve damage!!!!!!!!1

    she may have to go in for anothe rone as hip is hurting again. what to do?

  • i had a hip replacement on 9-9-99 and am still doing well. i was born with what was called congenital dislocation and was put through several surgeries as a child, i had my son in may of 94 and began to have serious problems walking as the hip seemed to buckle under pressure, so the option i had was to have a hip replacement. i have a hip of a 6 year old i am 37 years of age now. but i am doing very well. my back is crooked due to the way i was walking but other then that all is fine.

  • i had a experimental hip replacement , and it was only good for one day. after they put it in they said that my frame was to big for the little hip!! oops they said were sorry.. and its a half inch shorter than the other. i have walked on it for almost twenty years now. due to health reasons i cannot have another hip replacement..
