Hello Doctor, I Have Been Told I Need A Hip

Hello Doctor,
I have been told I need a hip replacement becuse of pain. I would like to delay the hip replacement 6-9 months. Besides pain what is the danger is delaying the hip replacement ??? Would this delay result in more damage to the hip or even effect the other hip or joints???
