| How to Know When You May be Ready for Hip Replacement Surgery? |
 |
 |
| When arthritis causes chronic, debilitating pain in your hip that prevents you from performing daily activities, you may need total hip replacement. Total hip replacement surgery is an elective procedure. Along with your doctor, you will decide when the time is right for this surgery. Your doctor may have treated your condition with pain medications, anti-inflammatory drugs or perhaps even physical therapy or a walking assistance device such as a cane. But the pain may become so severe that even staying off your feet doesn't help. You cannot sleep or turn over at night because of the discomfort. You will also begin to feel discomfort in the other hip as it works harder to carry the additional burden. With your surgeon's guidance, you are the best judge of if and when you will need total hip replacement surgery. When the pain becomes constant and so debilitating that even medication does not seem to help, you will know you are ready to consider surgery. |
