Atropa, a friend just had her hip replaced after years of annoying failed attempts to get back/hip pain addressed and she is doing awesome! Obviously, joint replacement is a major operation and the recovery period is no joke but it can be life changing.
I can't fucking wait to get my hip replaced.

Obsession.
She had a vasovagal response which is pretty common in teens.
"A vasovagal episode (or vasovagal syncope) is the most common cause of fainting. It occurs when your body overreacts to a trigger, causing a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure. This reduces blood flow to your brain, leading to brief, temporary unconsciousness.
Common Triggers
Episodes are typically set off by certain physical or emotional stressors.
Frequent triggers include:
Prolonged standing
Heat exposure or being in a stuffy room
The sight of blood or having blood drawn
Sudden fear, severe pain, or emotional distress
Straining (such as during a bowel movement or coughing)"
