Message:   HI Joe,
I am hoping you get my message. I had core decompression four yrs ago on my right hip and now I just had hip replacement on it. It is only a quick fix. I also had core decom. done 9 weeks before the hip was replaced. I was on crutches for 5 weeks before the hip replacement. Now I am walking on both and the core dec. is very painful after 9 weeks. I do not know why only that it will probably have to have a new hip. What they did to me wascalled hip resurfaceing. Look it up and you will see what I mean. I do not think all core dec. go well. They drilled four holes in mine the second time and only one with the other. I hope you keep in contact with me I would like to know how you are doing. I am not doing well I am 60 and I had the first one when I was 56. My hip resurface gives me less pain afer only 3 weeks. I will keep in touch.Plus anyone else I woud like to hear from, just put core dec. in subjectfield
