Hip Replacement Surgery: When to proceed

Thank you very much machad2024 for your thoughtful reply. I am leaning to deferring the surgery, and I am still undecided between two surgeons I've seen but both would use the anterior approach with me. Although I had dismissed injections such as platelet rich plasma (prp), hyaluronic acid, or cortisone for the hip, I might look into a hyaluronic shot if it buys me some additional time. My best wishes on your recovery,
Elliott

If you get a shot (cortizone for sure) you have to wait 3 months to do the surgery, we got the shot and did not know that , the shot didn't help which one of the docs said he did not think it would help, the pain has been getting wore and finally the 3 months is up on the 24th, my wife who hates surgery can't wit for the surgery.
