I'm not :D just the way it is, got a nice 12" scar though as the specialist has put in a super duper joint in as I do a bit of running.

Just keep taking the Tramadol and protect the hip joint for now till bone cements the cup

My old lady has had both done, do the exercises, even the daft seeming ones, it will make all the difference. Literally between being fine in a few months and being back on sticks in 12.
