Hip Replacement

I have to have both hips replaced. I am almost 65 years of age. The first one will be done on February 14th. Happy Valentine's Day!! I am trying to make up my mind about anesthetic. I am offered general or epidural. What do you people recommend? They say that one is not aware of what is happening under local anesthetic, but I am not secure enough with that thought. Any comments??

Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair, Knee

got cleated on my right knee last season in soccer, it hasn't been the same since. clicks, pops, and has a small bump near the knee cap. i can't stand for a long period of time and i also can't keep it bent for a long time. after playing soccer it feels stiff and weak. i'm afraid to get it checked out, because i don't wanna be out for my upcoming season, but i'm afraid that if i don't i can further damage it and not be able to play again, what should i do?

Hi , my turning point was at the week #3 point . I experienced great pain relief all along but practically over night I regained lots of strength and mobility ! I'm sneaking around with just a cane right now and I'm happier than I've been in years . Best of luck to you and let me know how you're feeling after the smoke clears and you have the time .

Hip Replacement

How long on average does a replaced hip last?

bee jay: it can last 15 to 25 years...

Sqid101: Metal on plastic will last 10 to 20 years depending on how active you are. Metal on metal or ceramic on ceramic are expected to last up to 40 or more years but there has been less experience with metal on metal and ceramic on ceramic and the jury is still out on them.
