“I am completely free of pain.”

Lori’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement?
Before my hip replacement, all the activities I did came to a stop. I could barely walk.

What was the turning point for you?
I knew I needed surgery once my medication and injections no longer worked.

How has joint replacement changed your life?
After surgery, I am completely free of pain. I can walk and do normal things again.

What advice would you give others considering joint replacement?
I wish I didn’t put it off. I had my second hip done nine months after my first. Having hip surgery was the best decision ever.
