Hip replacement problem

Published by

I have been having serious pains in one of my hips, which has caused me problems with walking. The doctor who saw me said I need a Hip Replacement operation. I don’t have the money for this. Please let me know if there is any alternative to the operation.

It is okay for you to seek a second opinion from another doctor, especially an Orthopedic Surgeon. However, if the diagnosis remains the same, you may have to raise money for the operation to avoid a permanent disability.
