My osteo arthritis in my hip was severe causing pain which affected physical activity, exercise, sleep and general quality of life. After inspection of X-rays I was immediately put on the list for a hip replacement which took place under three months later. The operation was a success, but wiring had to be placed round the femur which had cracked at the neck. Since then my recovery has proceeded well, and seven weeks after the operation I am walking around the house without a crutch, and going for walks of up to two miles using one crutch. Pain has largely gone and improvement is noticeable daily. I must also commend the prompt treatment when attending the fracture clinic.
