Cheryl i have had an MRI state no arthritis when i was full of it on both weight bearing surfaces on my hip. My doc and my spine surgeon both looked at it and said you do not need a hip replacement. Yet my hip was giving out on me and very painful. so my doc decided to do a scope on my hip and found the cartilage to be gone on both weight bearing surfaces and told me i would need a hip replacement. so i got one!!! So i do not trust MRI's at all for me.
