Their has too be a reason for it to keep popping out, have they done x-ray, mri etc and is it healing, have you done the exercises they tell you to do right from the first hip replacement as that is what keeps the muscles strong around the hip which keeps them in place so they don't dislocate.
What reason have they given for it repeatedly happening

You should be prepared that suing will take a lot of time and effort. I would also concentrate on getting everything sorted out and find out why it is dislocating. Why did you have the revision last year?

Was having alot of pain and everytime i moved i can feel the tendon snapping and he even said that he should have used a bigger replacement he used a small one when it should have been bigger so he did the revision and made the ball and socket bigger and he cut the tendon but see i was born with hip dysplasia so my hips were buggered for yrs plus i had 3 kids

You poor thing. I would research the best revision specialist in your area, and get a second opinion. This should not be happening. I would document everything, but leave the legal stuff until you have things under control. I am so sorry you are going through this. big hugs
