Hip Replacement

Isabel Cristina Grajales

For the past 10 years, I have suffered from pain in my right hip. I did many things in order not to have surgery, because of my fear. The last thing I did was medical acupuncture with a physiatrist, who chose Dr. Edwin Su for my surgery after I came to the realization that unless I had surgery, it wasn't going to get better. I must tell you, the result has been extra-ordinary. I stopped taking my pain medication two days after my surgery, because I had no pain. I went back to work after 3 weeks on a full-time basis. I feel very strong, I am walking better now that I have in the past few years, and I barely have a limp. The service and attention that I received at the hospital was incredible. I would highly recommend this hospital and these doctors to anyone with my condition. Now, after 5 1/2 weeks of surgery, I am looking forward to doing physical therapy and regaining the rest of my strength and mobility in my hip. I would like to thank the hospital, Dr. Edwin Su, Dr. Lauren Mount, and all the people took care of me in such a caring, loving and professional way.
