Ann Marie's Joint Replacement Story | Osceola Medical Center | One Place for your orthopedic care

When Ann Marie Pueschner started experiencing back challenges, she felt the issues she was having were her responsibility to handle. "I had a hard time sleeping," explained Ann Marie. "I was uncomfortable walking. When I rode any more than about an hour in a car I was wiped out, very uncomfortable." Finally Ann Marie had a conversation with her health-care provider, who scheduled her for a hip x-ray. "And as it turned out," Ann Marie reflected. "I had bone on bone and there was a real physical reason for why I was experiencing the kind of pain that I had been experiencing." Ann Marie trusted her health-care team at Osceola Medical Center with the help of ‪@TwinCitiesOrtho‬ to perform a total hip replacement. "The pain was immediately gone after surgery. I'm back swimming, I'm walking. I do steps, yoga, and even child's pose. Those are all things that I wasn't able to do before the hip replacement."
