Bad Hip

My daughter-in-law is a sports trainer, and as such has a little schooling in the human skeleton and muscles. She says she's not an expert but after looking at my hip x-rays made the following comments.

"Bone on bone here and here.
Cartilage gone here.
The ball is not all the way into the socket.
The doctor will probably want an MRI to go with the x-ray.
I'd be really surprised if the doctor doesn't recommend hip replacement surgery."

I'll learn more come Monday morning.
