"My journey of hip dysplasia; at age 47"

from meeting my surgeon for the first time. I was very anxious , nervous , and in excruciating pain . He was very reassuring , had sympathy and empathy with me , he explained everything very clearly to me , and.my husband . Showed Me the X-ray of my dysplasia , and how my ball and socket , wasn’t working properly , and how I had a laberal tear .

Which I had an arthroscopy done last July . Wow all the hospital staff where amazing ,can’t thank everyone enough. Much appreciation.

Had a check up , and back for manipulation and injection.,again fantastic staff .

Then in June this year finally , agreed I needed a total hip replacement (right) . Stayed in the spire , didsbury manchester , for 3 nights , again can’t thank staff enough . And all the medical team , all amazing have had physio , hydrotherapy too ,I am now 16 weeks on from my operation , and am doing good , no pain like before , best thing ever having this operation. Thank you so much to everyone who has been involved in my journey at the spire
