Matty was two weeks away from a total hip replacement.
Two surgeons told him he was the "perfect candidate." Imaging showed degeneration. Bone spurs. Impingement. The surgery was scheduled.
Then he started having nerve pain down his leg.
In this episode, Matty shares how he cancelled his hip replacement after discovering the real issue wasn't just his hip — it was coming from his spine.
We break down:
Why radiating leg pain is almost always a nerve issue
Why imaging can be misleading
The difference between joint pain and nerve pain
Why most PT programs miss the real problem
How focused spine treatment led to 85% improvement
Why some hip replacements fail
When surgery does make sense
This isn't anti-surgery. Hip replacements can be incredibly successful. But if nerve pain is involved, you may be chasing the wrong problem.
If you've been told you need a hip replacement — this conversation could change everything.
