Hello I am assuming you have hip dysplasia and were diagnosed as a child? Do you have acceptable range of motion? Constant pain? You mention being very active without pain. I certainly wouldn't rush into have a total hip replacement at your young age, as chances are you would need 2-3 revisions in your lifetime. Has your doctor suggested a shoe lift for the leg length discrepancy...

I had 5 years of bone on bone and a terrible quality...

It gradually came on about 3 years ago and have gotten so severe I can barely walk (when I do...
