Question:
What's my chances of needing a hip replacement later on in life?
Both of my hips click when it adduct or abduct, it's almost an poping sound, very loud, people hears them too when I stretch my legs in the office. My mom just went through a double hip replacement, they look very painful, she walked weird after, and very painful. Are there anyways I can prevent this from happening to me?(I don't have pain yet, it I maintain my weight at 120lb, I'm 5'8 at 30 years old, do I have a lesser chance to prevent this?)
Answers:
I would be talking to a doctor if you are that concerned.
