Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
So, I have had hip pain for about 4 months. I mentioned it to my Doc in December, thinking it was a pulled muscle. He said if it does not improve, we will take an x-ray. Did that this week: Moderate to severe Osteoarthitis.
I go in next week to see if injections might help, but long term I may be looking at replacement.
Any experience here with injections (cortisone?). Any long term success?
Any experience here with hip replacement? I'm 61.5. Are there any pros or cons about delaying surgery until medicare? Current max out of pocket limit is $6,000.
Thanks for your comments.
