I have to get hip replacement surgery and am 52 yrs. old. I broke my hip back in Oct. '07 and had 3 pins put in it, but the last x-ray I was told to get a complete hip replacement. I know the wait has been long but it is the first time I have been w/o health ins. and apparently that is to be expected - a long wait. the pain is bad tonite but is it safe to take both? someone out there has to know! thanx so much , L. Scott
