Just had mine replaced a little over a year ago. After spending years of thinking I had a bit of sciatica I finally decided to get some physical therapy and they suggested I have X-Rays since they felt it was my hip.

Like yours mine was also bone on bone and the pain was horrible. Finally after living like this I decided to go ahead and I am so happy I did. I had an anterior procedure instead of the posterior. I was only in the hospital 3 days, and actually could have gone home after 2 but was enjoying the pampering so stayed one more day.

If you'd like to Freepmail with questions I'll be more than happy to answer what I can. I'm not medically that astute, but I might be able to assuage your fears a little

Do stay the three days and make sure it is not just for ‘observation’ Post-surgery therapy may not be covered if you don’t.
