It was very painful prior to the surgery but since then I have had a lot less pain in the hip area. When I am in a crisis it does still hurt a little but not nearly as much as it did prior to the procedure. It has been 3 years since my surgery. Overall it has been an asset. Please let me know if you have any questions, I would be happy to speak with you. I keep all of my sickle family and their loved ones in my prayers.

He use to be in severe pain before he had the replacement. My mum also had a hip replacement about 3 years ago and she has been fine since then.
