Confusion.....

I've been told hips take very little time , unlike a knee.
If it needs to be done it, I say get it done as it's going to have to be done eventually and the longer you wait the longer the healing process as we take longer to heal the older we get. Besides it's better than hurting all the time and living on pain medication, I have the beginning stages of disc degeneration diesease for which nothing can be done with it so part of my daily routine is either the heating pad or ice pack and pain medication. If you can get it done.
