I have been unable to skydive for a couple of years b/c of increasing pain and loss of mobility due to developmental hip dysplasia. I'm scheduled to have my right hip replaced in February. I desperately miss skydiving and am hoping I will be able to skydive again after having the hip replaced, but my doctor doesn't seem positive. Does anyone have experience with this? How problematic is skydiving with an artificial hip? I'd appreciate any insights/advice.
