Most people who have radical surgeries end up in so much pain that many get addicted to prescription pain killers. I hope that's not true in Steve's case. My uncle had double shoulder surgeries and was a pretty straight up person who would have never considered abusing any kind of drug prior to this. He's been a pain killer addicted recluse for years now, not even participating in family gatherings or other things he once enjoyed. His doctor is serving time for overprescribing to many patients. I wonder how painful hip replacement surgery is?
Good question! I had hip replacement surgery in April -09-09 Doing just fine don't need the meds anymore.It was my left hip i think that was the one Steve had to have replaced too.
Glad to hear all is going well. Did they cement yours in, or did it have to attach to the new pieces? My hip was doing well till about a month ago, then the clicking started, which other people can hear, it's really gross.
