Hip Replacement – Prince’s Platforms Take Their Toll
Prince, the snake hipped pop star, may have to curb his
extravagant dance routines after surgeons told him that he needs a
hip replacement. Years of dancing and wearing platforms have taken
their toll on the world famous rocker.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, the pint sized pop
star, Prince, was recently told that he requires a hip replacement
after his posture and joints were decimated from years of wearing
platform shoes and dancing exuberantly on his music world tours. A
hip replacement is now a fairly common procedure and has great
success in improving the manoeuvrability of those with joint
problems.
Hip Replacement – Size Issue
Prince, famed as much for his diminutive size as for his purple
jump suit, may have a desire to appear taller than he was for his
current joint problems and his need for a hip replacement.
According to the report in the Daily Mail, Prince wore platform
shoes more or less everyday for thirty years and, combined with his
energetic dance routines, this has led to his hip problems and his
doctors informing the singer that he requires a hip replacement
operation. Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source close to the pocket
sized pop star stated, “He used to wear high-heeled boots every day
and doctors told him that may have contributed to his condition.
Over the years he has battered his body so much that his joints,
especially his hips, are causing him a lot of discomfort. Over time
his condition will get worse and he'll have to have the surgery.”
The singer has been told by his doctors that a hip replacement is
the only way that he will be completely free from discomfort and be
capable of continuing to dance.
Hip Replacement – Religious Obstacles
In the case of pop star, Prince, there is a religious issue that
is making his need for a hip replacement not as straightforward as
it otherwise might be. Namely, the fact that the singer is a
Jehovah’s Witness and is against the idea of a blood transfusion.
As with all operations of the magnitude of a hip replacement, a
blood transfusion may be required and the fact that the singer’s
religion forbids it, make it a difficult decision for the world
famous singer songwriter. However, if the singer wants to return to
his former hip-shaping glory on stage, then a hip replacement is
the only solution to his aching joints. Prince himself, on the
other hand, is satisfied with the anti-inflammatory drugs he is
receiving at present but the only long term resolution for the
singer is a hip replacement operation.
