Anyone had bursits of the hip , ive had it now for 5 months ::) Been to the docs and had all the pills to no avail and had the quaterzone injection in the bone which wasnt pleasant ... i cant walk for long as the pain is bad but i have to go for an MRI scan next week to hopefully diagnose the problem if it is bursitis . Swmbo says its arthritus either way its painfull :(

Wife thought she had that. Went to the doctor and found out her hip is knackered. She's not 34 yet mind you that's what you get for breaking ya hip at 14 I guess

Sorry to hear that , i had a normal xray and they said i have a narrowing of the hip joint :( MRI will hopefully
shed further light on it . Maybe falling off a few motorcycles in my time has not helped , is it right that hip replacements are only done at a certain age now ie 60+
-
No they will do them younger but they don't like to as they only last so many years meaning more ops
-
No they will NOT do them younger as I need one NOW ( and i am 39) and have been told by two doctors the youngest you can have any type of joint replacement is 60 no ifs no buts...different if you want too pay for it though although you have too find £ 25,000 first

no my wife had it done 4 years ago she was 50 then so its not to bad she said :y :y

Well in Wales and Scotland totally different rules...NICE in England have the last say...at end of the day all todo with money :y
-
Wife was told she could have the op if she wanted or sit it out until it became to painful to walk on. SWMBO is gonna try and hold it off as long as pos. I think your getting hard done by fella.

60 well i have another 13 yrs to wait then :( cold weather seems to affect me more . Had to give in and order a walking aid , really didnt want to go this route but anything to ease the pain when walking ::)
-
As I understand how its been explained to me by a doctor/surgeon person, the construction of the skeleton and how it gets chooped around in a hip replacement does not resdily lend itself to subsequent further replacements as it gets seriously chopped/sawn about to fit the replacement parts.
These manufactured parts have a limited life cycle and later replacement causes further probs that result in exceptionally difficult proceedures, hence the gate post figure of 60 years of age with the thinking that once done it will not need redoing as the recipient will most likely have popped this mortal coil by that time.....

i was dead set against a stick and i only use when i am expecting to walk some distance....and i have to say it does help...i it hate it when the doctors are right
but as for hip/joint replacement it is all to do with cost at moment....they have a life span of 10-15 years thats why 60 seems to be a yard stick BUT as it is driven by cost you might find different health authorities have different rules..then saying that my nan at 84 has just (3 days ago ) had a knee replacement and tbh with all the stories in the news with regard to replacement joints i don't think i want one at the moments
-
I had bursitis on my elbow, swelled up to twice it's normal size.
Can you get it in your cock? ???

Ive been struggling to walk for distances but have been putting off any sort of aid like a stick , i think its the stigma about one like ill look like an old foegie ::) but ive ordered one crutch which will help while im out and about .. dont fancy one of those elec solo cars just yet well not unless its got leather seats and cruise control :)

ALARMING man your inbox is full :y

Taking up walking with a stick was one of my biggest problems (fused ankle and foot bones due to RTA). However I found myself avoiding doing things as I couldn't do the walking. Then I realised I was missing out on so much especially where the kids were concerned. So I bit the bullet and I walk with some groovey metal calapisable stick. However it's only this with a blue badge which helps me get about to some places. Cronic pain is shit.

My ex-boss had a hip replacement in his late 40's due to wear and tear from sports, they will do it just don't like to. The reason stated they like to hang on to 60 is because of how it is done, the spike with the new ball joint is driven into the femur, first time is fine, second time they need a bigger spike because the hole is enlarged, 3rd time you risk fracturing the femur.
In his case i'm fairly sure he was an early example of 'resurfacing' or whatever it's called where they don't chop the ball off but put a cap over it, it still leaves the issue of excess work on the socket but I believe that's a bit easier to work around.

different health authorities all have different rules...mine WONT do a replacement untill you are 60....and they WON'T use the resurfacing method as it is deemed to be unreliable as the horror stories that were in the news a little while ago were all about resurfacing methods...dont help me or others that are in herendous pain.... :'(
