View allI've been dealing with arthritis for 7 years and the pain is making movement really tough lately. Is hip replacement surgery safe for someone like me? I've been taking painkillers when needed is that okay or should I be careful about timing? Also, what's the approximate cost for this surgery and where's the best place to get it done?
