I had it done in 2007 and this week it started squeaking like you wouldn't believe, does anyone know if or what the NHS can do for it? I'm fifty and can't have this for the rest of it's life. I thought it might last 15 to 20 years with care... Wish I could reply with a suggestion but my circs and metal THR hip sound identical, metal on metal, titanium & I believe cobalt.
