Getting a hip replacement at Hospital for Special Surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself. I've led an active life and two of my favorite things to do are dancing, and leading outdoor exercise classes in New York City parks. I knew I was headed towards a hip replacement because of the gradually increasing pain and stiffness. When it was finally time, I did a lot of research and most often HSS was recommended. Now I'm back in action, dancing, bike riding, swimming, kayaking--and teaching 5 outdoor classes per week. I have my life back and more, since I'm a good role model for others considering hip replacement.
