The reason I ask is that my father had a metal hip replacement 32 years ago (1982) and is only just having pains to that side of his leg. I was interested to see if there was anyone else out there that had the same op all those years ago and whether or not they have since had another replacement.
Sorry can't help but hope mine lasts that long. Maybe that is a record!
Wow, that's amazing....hope mine lasts that long.....actually hope I last that long!!
He must have really looked after it but if he needs it replaced the experience will be so much better than over 30 years ago ....wish him luck

Thanks Debbie - I think it is a record too! :-) And thank you Chris - I will pass on your message of luck. I am hoping if he does need it replacing that it is a better experience than before - he got an infection last time and now he's 75 I do worry about an op taking its toll.
Just let him read all the positive posts on this site....he really wont believe how much better he'll be....there was an 80 year old in the hydro pool with me and doing really well after only 6 weeks!
