I was born with hip dysplasia. When I turned 54, most physical activities created pain in my left hip.  I eventually walked with a limp and could go up stairs only by using two feet per step.  I went to a surgeon and had a total left hip replacement on 2/2/11.  The surgery was a life saver.  Now, my right hip is beginning to deteriorate.  I am curious to see if I am a candidate for prolotherapy either as a long-term solution or as a way to postpone a total right hip replacement.
