Hip
 

Saw doctor yesterday about my hip, nothing more he can do for me.

So now it is replacement time. Anyone have any experiences with any of the doctors in LC area, good or bad.

Thanks

Prayers to ya Jude

My buddy works for a company, Biomet. They sell all the replacements. He sits in the surgeries and shows doctor how to use all the implants. I will ask him who is the best doc around Lake Charles area.

He said Geoff Collins.

I wish my best. Holla if you need

x2 best of luck Jude. At least its only one hip and not both.

Don't limit your search to just LC area, lot of docs up and down I10, check with you next weekend

Stay positive. A guy I work with had his replaced several years ago and he isn't limited in any way.

My grandmother as well. My other grandmother had both knees replaced. My uncle had both knees replaced at the same time.

Had mine done last year. Not limited in any way as of now.

Wife was diagnosed w/ psoriatic arthritis yesterday . doc told her that hip replacements are in her future. for now ,pain pills and anti inflammatorys.

Good luck CHIEF.

Dr's Noble and Cascio are great orthopedic surgeons. Nice guys too

Best of luck to ya Jude, I hope all goes well.

Best to ya Chief

Think I am going to try and wait till June, if I can. Too dang hot to fish then anyways and should give me time to recover before the SC Tourney in August

I have had both replaced. Right one about 11 years ago, Posterior. It has come apart on me 3 x. Hurts like hell when that happens. Rehab was long and hard.

left one I had done 5 years ago, Anterior. Rehab much shorter and easier. Ifg you must have it done choose this.

It's not a picnic. I can not walk to the back of a big box store and back without extreme pain. I am unable to exercise so I have lost all muscle tone. But then I am 74.

Good luck to you and please shop around for the surgeon.

x2 on Noble... Good luck !!!

Sorry to hear that man.....I am about to have to have surgery on my knee soon. Cortisone shots are not working anymore.

What was the cause of it coming apart? I had mine done( posterior) last spring and haven't had any trouble at all. I was fishing in 8 weeks and duck hunted with no problems. Just curious.
