Hi Steven, blimey bet that was a real shocker....Steven we r always here to listen to U ok, and hopefully try and help u....U r right to feel angry, bliddddy angry, I still get angry after years of this problem..... Regards your Hips, at lest they have found out Y u r in pain in yr left hip(not good I know) and ya riught to think what the fook is going on becos they said its Osteo and ya right it doenst spread like R.A. or Inflamatory artha, but then again How sure are they in getting your first diagnosis right? so regards the right hip, if it appears that the cartledge is also wearing away, I wld deffo question the Osteo diagnosis.....im not a doc, so mb I wont be that helpful to u, but I wld get to the bottom of this....Steven did they say that U need a new hip? all I want to say is this, IF u do have to have a new Hip, I know its major, but please please dont get too low, come back to me or anyone in hre, becos I know ppl that have had the hip replacements, Honest Steven, it gave them back their lives, U WILL do all the thigns U want to do, infact, its Great that U r concentrating on your Band ok, hard I know, I truly know what Arthritis pain is in multiple joints, todate I have 7 corrective surgeries from 2003 to 2007, lot of ops and a lot of pain, so I do feel im experienced in how U r feeling due to pain, and also the shocking news, I was told my hips are wrong shape, that they r semi circle(like half shapes) anyway alsl was told they wld replace my hip, then they wld do Hip resurfacing, then I had an inflamed Burda of the hip, removed that, pain same, went back in after 5 months of previous hip op, and they scrapped away the artha and repaired a huge tear.....nightmare! to this day, I still have hip pain due to synovitis inflamation..........but when u have a New hip, all is fine within a few weeks.....a few have had hip ops in here Steven, I hope theypost to u, my close m8 had hers done and was fine within 2 weeks..Honest...pain went!! I hope this kinda supports u, and Val is correct in her post to u too......please take care, becos this can make u depressed, and dont Ever feel ashamed telling your doc that u r depressed if U ever feel that U r.....goood luck with your guitar...tc Jill

Hi Steven, thats ded unlucky about having to have the op on your toe. All tends to happen at once doesn't it! hang on in there, you sound like youre coping really well considering. Try not to let go of the band, you have a lot of determination there dont you? : )
Im hoping for hip replacement (Im 24) but my rhummy is a bit of a retard sometimes and Im guessing shes forgotten.
Try to stay positive.
Take care xx

Hey Steven sorry to hear your news we find out what is wrong with us, for some it takes a long time, you sound like you are a fighter like most of us on here, and you love your music, i listen to music can't play a blasted note, and my singing isn't much better lol. know days can be so tough that at times i think to myself what could i have done earlier on in my life to have changed this horrid pain that we all go through, i am 51 nearly, and the answer is sweet f all. I have only been on here for a short while but everyone is lovely, we all have one thing in common PAIN and loads of it, i have just had my op last Friday so everyday is new to me, i am still recovering in bed, we all try and do what we can to help ourselves which is great, but i wanted to let you know we all care about you and eachother, take care Steven hugs for you MOONFAIRY xx xx
