I had Legg Perthese disease and still have periodic pains in the hip. Currently at the age of 30, I feel I'd rather wait as long as I can until I have to get my hip replaced.
Has anyone tried using Synvisc (joint fluid normally used to relieve pain in knees) for hip osteoarthritis? This fluid acts as a shock absorber in between joints and relieves the pain due to OA.
