How long is recovery time please, and is there much pain involved? I have a best interests meeting regarding this operation for my daughter, who has learning disabilities and uses a wheelchair. It's so hard to decide if this is the right course of action. TIA for any advice.

I did not have much pain. It's important to get a 2nd opinion. A few doctors that I talked to never even heard of Girdlestone!
In my case I was told that it was the only way to eliminate my Sepsis infection. Recovery is very difficult but not painful.
Wishing you well!
