Hip replacement : Do you have a prosthetic hip now or just arthritis? Know that prosthetic hips have to be replaced in 20-25 years so surgeons like to delay placement .If you do not have a prosthetic hip discuss platelet rich plasma / hylauronic acid ( synvisc) or stem cell therapy to delay or avoid hip replacement.
