Mag, I had hip replacement surgery in 2001. Before the surgery, I was in pain 24/7, today I get slight pinches of pain when I move wrong and sometimes I do get spasms which last a few days to a few weeks. Recuperation was not an easy thing for me, but each person is different. Overall, I can say the quality of my life has improved 95%. The prostheses out today are much better and can withstand spasticity if that's what concern the orthopedic surgeons (shame on some who don't know the latest procedures out there). I have three male CP friends who are at least 10 years older (I'm 50) than me who have had hip surgery. I'm ccing them in the hopes they'll share their experiences with you. If you have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
