@tkrfail21 I had hip replacement of my left hip after a nondisplaced fracture.I had pain but got worse with movement. A year later still hip pain and difficulty on steps. I would wait until you are disabled by the hip & the pain unbearable.

@tkrfail21 I think you can do more harm to yourself waiting. If you can build muscle, move toward and maintain a healthy weight, and other activities that build strength and endurance, I think that would be wise to wait as it would increase your success and recovery. But, also waiting may increase more damage that will make it harder for you to recover. Just my opinion.
