i am 48 years old

and i had a kidney transplant ten years ago

and Because the Steroids (Prednisone) that i have to take i have

a disease called avn- Avascular Necrosis

in my last X-rays shows that there is a damage to the Cartilage

and there is sines to head collapsed in both legs

and i need to get a Total Hip Replacment

in Two legs. i have pain almost Eight years now

i cant sleep i cant do nothing i am taking

painkiller and drug of all types and Nothing helps

i dont have any option any more and i think i need to have the surgery

my Doctors Recommended to do the Surgery and they said i need

Ceramic on Ceramic hip replacements in both legs

and to start with one leg and after six month to do the other one

and they said Because i have to take Steroids all my life my Odds

are not so good

the Chance that i will need a seconde Hip Replacment

in a few years is very High and from what i read about

the operation there is so many side effect but the one

that are my most concern are those

Blood clots

Hip Fracture

Infection

Difference in leg length

Implant loosening

(and the doctors said that the second joint replacement (Revision

is very hard and the Recovery can be very long

in this point i dont know what should i do

i cant Suffer any more the pain and from the other hand

this Surgery dont seems to be the right Optional

and there is no Turning back since i am doing it and i forget another thing

that a few years back the company Johnson & Johnson

have a major Problem with one of the Hip Replacment

world wide

and people was needed to get another Surgery to Replace it

and i think that i dont trust them so much now

but my doctors are saying that half of the

Hip Replacment in the world are Manufactured by this company

but i think that there is a Financial Motivation here

i need your help to decide i have to take a Decision

i want to know if there is people that have a similar

problem like me and already have a Total Hip Replacment

what can you suggest me and do you satisfied from the Result

or you regret that you hade the operation

are you happy and is your life better now

any suggestion will be gratitude

Many health to all of you
