I have been recommended total hip replacement for right hip. Is the surgery possible under spinal anaesthesia? given that I am a patient of Ankylosing Spondylitis but its not advanced and spine is not fused.
I fear general anaesthesia as I am quite weak and also have breathlessness issues.
I have not been diagnosed with any other disease as yet.
