I am 33 years old and have osteoarthritis in both hips. I was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia at age 29 and had a scope to fix a torn labrum. I have since has 2 children and the hips are worse. I have recently lost a lot of weight - and that did not help. I went back to the doc and he sadi my hips are worse - with cysts and osteoarthritis. He told me that a replacement would be in the near future. I am also looking into a surgery to "reconstruct" my own hips - but recovery is long and my little one is only 7 months! I am also looking into resurfacing.
I understand how you feel. My doctor told me I had the hips of a seventy year old! I have a difficult time after I have been sitting. I can't walk right - and my hip is stiff and feels like it is giving out. I also fing it hard to get comfortablr in car or chair - always shifting to find the right position so my hips don't ache. I am still able to exercise - mostly walking. I am limping by the end of my walks though. I too feel like I am too young to have hip problems.
I am not sure what it is you had done - (scfe)?
