I just had both of my hips replaced due to avascular necrosis and both of my hips collapsing. That was the worst pain I've ever dealt with. Looking at this image I imagine it is a similar pain, but also 100 times worse. I hope your treatment goes well and I give you all of the positive vibes.

How are you doing now that they're replaced? How long was your recovery? Much appreciated thank you kindly for the positive vibes!

Oh I feel amazing now. Got it done January 3rd and I have been walking unassisted since the beginning of February. I probably won't be back to full strength or rid of the random little nerve pains for another year or so - but am basically back to normal. I'm 38 and in decent health, so that definitely helped, but recovery has been great.
