Don't want to scare you, but here's a truth: The lead guitar of The Ventures, Nokie Edwards, had his hip replaced in December 2017. He died from an infection from it in January 2018.
Makes me think, like you are doing, as I need both knees replaced AND my right hip! Still, no sales on these parts at Home Depot! But in pain 24 hours a day ,all week, every week. A bitch to live with......so how long can you deal with the sever pain? It could get to the point to where it will affect your everyday life style, so you'll have to make a serious choice.
But you NEED a second AND a third opinion....if you're an old grump like me, you need more time and effort to recover, and lots of rehab! Take heed. Research first! And, I wish you the best of luck, my friend...…
