I just had left hip replaced april 2 for avascular necrosis my dr. said my right is bad. how long should i wait till my right hip is replaced?

Hip replacement: I don't think there is a "right" answer - depends on your level of pain. You might want to wait until your other hip heals. Discuss this with your surgeon.
