In reply to bigwellness….this is migizii….I had two previous hip surgeries (age 13,29) and I was told I would need THR by the time I was in my 40’s also. As it turned out, I didn’t have the surgery until I was 58. I will possibly need another one, as my family has long life genes, but one never knows for sure, when the surgery will exactly be needed. I am aware that exercise (not overdoing it) and maintains a healthy weight helped me considerably.
