Just wondering if there are people on the board under 50 that have had a hip replacement? I'm in my early 40's and because of genetics, I need my right one done. Anyone have any experience with recovery times, pain management, how you deal with the 4 week moratorium on sex?

I have a couple friends in their 40-50's who've had replacements. It's pretty routine now but you have to be prepared for the time it takes to recover and make sure to follow all of the exercises. They said pain was manageable but due to the swelling it took time for penis sensitivity to return to normal, which is not something I would have thought of.

If you're in constant pain and the surgeon thinks you're a good candidate, you'll soon forget about the after surgery pain when you're walking around pain free. Good luck.
