Hip Replacement at the Age of 21

Posted , 15 users are following.

I’m super nervous and will be seeing a specialist consultant soon in London to talk about having my right hip replaced. I have had hip problems since the Age of 8 and to be able to gain a better quality of life I need to have a hip replacement. I would just like any advice or information bearing in my mind terrified of needles. Thank you

    Don't worry you're young and will recover quickly.. it's not as bad as you think
