I am 20 years into a new hip on the left side. I don’t have any issues with it and no pain. I work a very physical job on my feet at work 8-12 hours a day and then go home and farm. If I don’t tell people I have a artificial hip they can’t tell it when I walk or climb or maneuver any way shape or form. I was 25 when I got it my surgeon asked me to get an x ray a few years ago and he couldn’t believe there were no signs of wear on it. That was the first appointment since post op and he sent me a letter asking me to come see him before he retired. Cleveland clinic did the surgery
