Treatment Type: Hip Replacement

Patient Story: Diana from Omaha, NE

What was life like before joint replacement?

Before I had my joint replaced, I had to give up running. My 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 3 months later!! Love having no pain and full mobility!! I am back to normal.
