I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!

@Courtney_J My symptoms came on rather suddenly, almost overnight. I thought at first I was having a stroke because you hear about the face drooping when that happens. Then I thought it was stress or fatigue but then when it didn't go away I knew it was something else. I went to my GP who told me to go to an eye doctor. Then there was some back and forth with the GP who finally ordered tests for me. It was awful waiting for the test results.
