It's possible to get Social Security disability benefits for hip pain. The thing about it is that if you have bad hip pain, you will probably have Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery and get a lot better. However, you may not be able to have a THR as soon as you would like. The surgeons don't have to operate until the hip gets pretty bad. You can have a lot of limitations in the months or years leading up to a THR. This is especially the case if you are under the age of 55. They don't want to do joint replacement surgery before age 55. If you're under 55 you may be suffering pretty badly with a hip and still be told to wait until later for the THR. Of course, there are other cases in which there have been unusual complications after a THR or where past trauma makes a THR impossible or only minimally effective.
If you can't work due to a bad hip, we'd be pleased to talk with you.
