hi holly&happy new year. it sounds asif your doing really well, hope you continue to do so. my son is still having big problems. we have been told if he can grit his teeth for the next 5yrs his consultant will consider arranging for him to have a total hip replacement, at the present time the NHS would not consider him as at 18 he is far too young!! but if we were rich we might find a surgeon who would do it privatley (if the price was right). anyhoo wishing you the very best of wishes, keep in touch
