Jennie Garth Opens Up About Hip Surgeries

Jennie Garth, the actress known for her role in 'Beverly Hills, 90210', has publicly shared her experiences with two hip replacement surgeries, first at 48 and again at 52, due to osteoarthritis, a condition common in women over 50. In a candid interview, she expressed her initial nervousness about discussing her surgeries, highlighting the stigma surrounding joint replacements. Garth revealed that she has lived with significant hip pain for years, exacerbated by her active lifestyle, which included horseback riding and dancing. A turning point came during a family ski trip when the pain forced her to stay behind, prompting her to seek medical advice. Despite a challenging recovery from her second surgery, Garth emphasized the importance of self-care and the support of her husband, Dave Abrams. She aims to destigmatize health issues faced by women and encourages others to speak openly about their medical journeys.
