I had a total hip replacement done in December. I had pain when I put weight on my hip. I was afraid of it breaking. My femoral head was dead too. Between the cancer and radiation, it did my hip in.
The surgeon was nervous about the state of my pelvis too. I actually had 2 surgeons. When they got in there, the bone was good and the pathology came back clean. (thnks to rads/taxoterrible)
I had the surgery and it was a success. 3 months later I don't walk with a limp, I have no pain.
I didn't want to risk being on crutches or a wheel chair. If you are in pain, it makes a big difference.
By the way, I am 44.
