I wanted to have an update on this thread. It has been over a year and the hip replacement was one of the best things I have done in my life. 100% of the pain is gone.

I forget about it entirely except for when I step out of the shower and see my big scar. My career as a speedo model is ruined because of the scar but that career was not going anywhere anyway.

Within a few months of the operation I was back mowing the yard and not even thinking about my hip.

I was stupid to wait as long as I did. I suffered for several years just because I was not ready to have surgery. If the other hip starts hurting I will get it replaced way sooner.

If you are limping because of a bad hip stop being stubborn and get it replaced.
