Kind of metal related. Getting a new hip (metal) on Thursday. Been bother= ing me for over 25 years. Funny about pain. Can come on very sloooowly. You kind of don't feel it bu= t people around you sense it. My doctor convinced me to take a shot in the= hip and see if my lifestyle changes. I didn't notice any change, but my S= WMBO said I became much more active. Instead of one trip to the shop (100 = ft., carrying as much as I can) I made 20-30 trips, thoughtlessly. Also lo= st 10 lbs. in about 2 weeks time. Shot lasted exactly 4 weeks and then I r= ealized that I had been in pain all along (prior to the shot). Most significantly SWMBO said I was no longer crabby during that period!
If any of you have =93been there, done that=94 I would like to hear from yo= u.
Thanks, Ivan Vegvary
