A member asked:

I am 19 have had both hip surgeries, told may need replacement by age 30. my doctor doesn't do hips anymore. pain is worse, what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain management: At age 19 having hip surgeries must be a serious issue. I believe your doctor is telling you that it's not indicated to have hip surgery now. You must do physical therapy and pain management . I am sure there are many other orthopedists in your area. Get a second opinion.
