Patient Story: LaTrena from Glenarden, MD

What was life like before joint replacement?

My hip pain caused me to stop doing the activities I enjoy, such as dancing, running, biking, and hiking.

What was the turning point for you?

The moment I knew I needed to move forward with surgery was when medication no longer helped with the pain.

How has joint replacement changed your life?

Now that I had both of my hips replaced, I am able to hang out with family and friends without pain.

What information do you have that would help others considering joint replacement?

My advice to those considering getting joint replacement is to always strive to do more.
