When you’ve been sitting for a long period of time, your body becomes stiff.
But for you, it’s like the pain rises to a whole new level. It centers around your hip joint, and it has made it difficult to do things like tie your shoes or ride a bike. You’re also limping and now find it difficult to go upstairs. In this blog, we’ll examine one possible source of the problem: hip impingement syndrome.
You get out of bed and the stiffness and pain greet you every morning. It takes effort just to put on your shoes and socks. It’s a beautiful day outside, and you long to stroll in the sunshine, but you experience hip pain when walking, so it’s out of the question.
Your hips ensure smooth movement, and when you’re in pain, it impacts all your activities of daily living. You have a choice: Either put up with it as a natural part of aging or the result of an injury or seek treatment from one of our board-certified orthopedic surgeons in Raleigh.
You have been suffering from pain in your hip for years, preventing you from enjoying activities you once loved. Even a simple walk around the neighborhood has become unbearable, and sports are out of the question.
Then you found relief with a hip replacement. But how long does a hip replacement last? Will it be reliable through the decades or will you need to schedule another one sooner than you’d prefer?
Hip replacement is one of the most successful surgeries in medical history. The longevity of a hip replacement depends on a number of factors, including age, the material used, and the underlying reason for the surgery.
