Anybody had one? If so, when did you know it was time to do something about it?

I have had both mine replaced 5 & 6 years ago now. I probably went on a year too long, but it is a tough decision. I was a big golfer. Loved walking the course. After a time I started taking the cart more often. Then all the time. Even then, when I would lay down in bed at night my hips would just ache. I knew then it was time. If it is costing you sleep or keeping you from doing things you love because you don’t want the pain, then it is time.

My wife had one done 34 years ago, had two kids, and then had a partial replacement 9 years ago. She started falling for no reason at all and that was why they did the rework of her hip.
It is giving her some trouble again and she is going to see a surgeon. This time there is increasing pain and the angle of her leg has begun to change.
She had severe joint pain before the first surgery.

My dad had both replaced 4-5 years ago. Should have done them sooner. No reason to wait if you're in pain. He was out of the hospital a couple days after the first one and the next day after the 2nd one.

From and xray techs perspective seeing patients before, shortly after and awhile after. Do it as soon as you qualify for one. Its crazy how fast people heal and most say they wish they would have done it years ago. Hip pain can cause so many other issues including messing with your back as you are trying to compensate for the pain.

I had a hip replacement about 6 or 7 years ago. Pain became too great. Had the anterior replacement and I was walking later in the day. God some bad advice from a PT instructor to do as much exercise as I wanted. Developed a huge hemotoma.....and that was a big concern. It did go away....lucky I dindnt get a stroke. My advice after a joint replacement is to go slow for a few days. Yeah you can walk and do some mild excursive but dont go gonzo for a few days. I'm not certain if I would get another anterior hip replacement. The other procedure takes longer to heal.....but seems to have less side effects. I can feel my hip when I think about it. Still.....I'd be in a wheelchair without a replacement.

Some weeks it hurts like hell and the next week it's tolerable. I'll have to be in near constant pain before I have them cut me open.
