Going on a hike in the foothills?
No way.
Spending time in her garden?
Not going to happen.
Hip pain was stopping Lavine Shapiro from living her best life.
鈥淚 was starting to live my age, instead of my life,鈥 said Lavine, who lives in Sandy, Utah. 鈥淲ith my hip pain, I had a hard time sitting, and an even harder time standing back up. And getting a decent night's sleep was impossible.鈥
After 11 years of lidocaine patches, physical therapy, and cortisone injections, Lavine made an appointment with Jeremy Gililland, MD, at the 人妻中出视频 Orthopaedic Center.
鈥淚 tried all the preventative measures, but they were no longer working,鈥 Lavine said.
She had her hip replacement in August 2024 and returned to work as Chief Development Officer at the Utah Food Bank just two weeks after surgery.
鈥淢y recovery was unbelievable,鈥 she added. 鈥淚'm pain-free. I so appreciate what Dr. Gililland and his entire care team did for me. They were always proactive with my care, and the physical therapy phone app made my at-home recovery easy.鈥
Dr. Gililland said it was a true joy to help someone like Lavine. 鈥淪he is a vibrant woman who spends much of her life caring for others at the Utah Food Bank,鈥 he said. 鈥淚t was quite clear that her hip pain was starting to get the best of her, and I am so happy to see the transformation that has occurred after her hip replacement.鈥
Lavine is thrilled with how her new hip has redefined her life. 鈥淚 have 28-year-old twin boys, and they have each said to me, 鈥楳om, you added 10 years to your life!鈥欌
