I have needed to have both of my hips replaced since I was in my early 20s. I am now in my early 40s and it is time. I had scfe when I was a teenager and I have been in chronic pain ever since. I was really close to having a hip replacement in 2007 and I couldn't work out the down time with having just started a new business. If I would have had them replaced at that time I would have been screwed because the hip replacement the surgeon intended to use was recalled so I am so glad I didn't do it. I want both of my hips replaced at the same time so I only have surgery once and only have a single recovery period. I hate anesthesia and I experienced interoperative awareness when I had the insitu fixation as a teenager and in recent years I realized that I have ptsd from anesthesia awareness. A few years ago I had gallstones and they were talking surgery and that brought back suppressed memories of the scfe surgery which ruined my life.
