Hip Problems

Have you ever had hip problems? It can be very painful. I have known lots of people who have had their hips replaced and they tell me it is much easier than having a knee replaced. I have had both knees replaced so I guess I am past the worst of it. But now my husband is having hip problems. And I wonder if he may have to have one replaced. He can't pick up anything heavy, such as the garbage bag without a lot of pain. I got him a doctor appointment so we can find out the source of the pain on Thursday, I hope.
