Any drivers out there had this done, need both of em done…asked the question will I be ok afterwards for going back driving…Not forthcoming with a answer…■■?
Ive had 1 hip done many years ago after smashing my femur bone to pieces. 15 years later i dont know i have it and i used to strip tilts all day and play football etc and still to this day play football its nothing these days to be honest. go for it get it done you will feel better for having it done.
Should be fine, I went back to work 100% better no pain or discomfort was of work for 3 months, only downside is you will set of the metal detectors at the air port 
Friend had both of his done a couple of years ago - they wouldn’t do both at once, had to be 12 months between ops but I don’t know if that’s standard. Once he had the op he was on crutches for about a month and ended up having 3 months off work. Now walking around good as new.
Sounds promising…not worked since Xmas…self employed…n moneys running out so will have to do something sharpish…she said I,m young for needing this done…(at 53 I as for this in writing 
)this pain free bit sounds good too 
Get em both done mate. I’ve heard many a tale of people getting this done and being right as rain 3 months odd after. Think there is a small risk of the joint deteriorating but I think it’s an acceptable risk.
My dad broke his hip and had pins rather than a replacement and he’s still limping over a year later & not 100% with it, no pain though. He wasn’t given a choice by the doctor but he’d bite his hand off to go back and have a replacement instead now.
My wife had both done last year she is in her early 40s,its made a very big difference to her quality of life.
A mate had one of his done at 50 and he’s now back at work fit as a fiddle - and his job requires him to be on his feet literally all day.
Wasn’t off work for long either 
My advice is to hop to it - you know it makes sense in the long run 
I was talking to a woman on holiday that’s had a hip replacement. She had to sleep with hr legs strapped together, because it kept popping out when she was in bed.
Hiya…so theirs always someone done better younger higher or lower…so my mate mick had his first hip done
in his early 30’s and the second a few years later. god he was a mess before they was done, now you’d never know,
thats from 30years ago.he’d drive from Macc to toddy, when he got out of his truck he was bent over like in
a sitting position, he’d walk round toddy lorry park trying to get upright. anyhow they was done and he’s still
driving nowadays for Kirks at macclesfield…Mick suffered with his hips from when he was about 12 if i remember
correctly. no doctor would risk new hips before the age of 30 before the 1980’s.

Thanks for all the replys…sounds like it may be the answer to my problem…consultation with surgeon next month, all been well knife soon after…wonder if he can make me a bit taller at same time 
A few guys I know have had em done, and the general consensus is to get both done together.
Its more baw ache to do & the recovery time is slightly longer then for a single one. But those I know who opted for having them done separately have found that they over compensate with the new joint, and put more pressure onto the other & you end up leaning more onto the other, causing that to become more inflamed. But having both done together means you end up level

Are you quite sure she was talking about hips?

My GP & the consultant where very keen to get me into hospital ASAP & sorted out as I am still of working age(58 when the hip op was done) their attitude was lets get you back to work! the op was done in a private hospital under the NHS!.Hope it all go’s well for you you won’t belive the difference it makes,as others have posted it will be about 12 months before they offer you the op on the other hip.

Haven’t heard that one before. I suppose it makes a change from them saying they’ve got a headache.
