RE: I have tips for the afflicted

If NHS is anything like we in the US of A, they'll likely advocate steroid injections after Nsaids fail and before going to surgery. Screw that! You can't have surgery within 90 days of immune depressing steroids and, at least in my case, the wonderful balm of the injection lasted 45 days for the right hip with another 45 days of hell and just 10 for the current, left hip.

Dante had no idea.

As for physiotherapy, at least around here, it's a bunch of judgmental kids in spandex. I did a lap of the proprty with my walker hourly for two weeks then began, as soon as I could get a leg over (I know, I know) my bike rode the nearby park level trails. At 6 weeks I was back to climbing and bombing the woodland trails.

Finally and most important, insist on the Anterior approach to the joint. Posterior incision patients without exception are still suffering at 6 weeks; I met plenty. The day after my surgery I went home and right up the stairs to have a shower and never looked back. Anterior! There's some concern about a major nerve in the way from the front but my Johns Hopkins/Duke trained surgeon has done hundreds of surgeries no problem.

Get it done and good luck.
