Anyone else got / had FIA?

Just wondering if anyone else has had to have a new hip due to FIA like me. I'm 47 this year, no arthritis or anything, used to own a couple of ponies from 10 to 16 and the constant rotation of my left hip with impingement pushing it out of line has worn away the cartilage. I didn't even know this was going on tho till i started getting pain a few years ago as the damage was done and just deteriorated. Jay

My FAI was causes by playing football before my bones had developed fully. I am due to have a new right hip in early June.

I'm 2 weeks post op now, had left hip replaced at rugby st cross hospital, "superpath" minimal invasive technique and accelerated recovery program on 9/3/15 went to theatre at 16:30 General anaesthetic and next thing I was being woken up. Bit sick, but only once, back on ward by 21:00.slept till 6:30 Tuesday. At first it felt like someone had my leg clamped to bed , and no way I was gonna move it again. However, by the time the nurses came to help me 10:30 ish , I was able with minimal assistance to get from bed to walker to chair. Since then I kept up all exercises and legs get stronger each day, now quite mobile with one crutch, taken a few steps with no aid but tires muscles quickly. My knee seems to have suffered a bit too but it getting stronger also. Btw only on paracetamol and ibuprofen now and again now, didn't even need all the morphine tablets they sent me home with. Best o f all my left foot points the right way now and the pain and grinding from before have gone!
