Hi James
Your my 1st hit on KickAs
Hope your consultation when ok & that u don't need those hips replaced yet. But if u do then keep away from DePuy products!
I had my right hip totally replaced & now it all has to come out and be replaced by some other manufacturer.
All I was trying to find out was if there was any link between AS and generally bad hips. But u & I are the only ones so far!!

Keep the faith
regards

Sean
