Diana’s Story
What was life like before joint replacement?
Before I had my joint replaced, I had to give up running. The osteoarthritis in my right hip was terrible and progressively got worse. I had shooting pain from knee to foot and in my hip.

What was the turning point for you?
I tried physical therapy but had no success. I ended up having to use a cane to walk.

How has joint replacement changed your life?
Now life is wonderful! I climbed down a mountain in Kona, Hawaii, three months after surgery. I love having no pain and full mobility. I am back to normal.
