I am 11 months post opp ceramic thr right. had no problems at all. but now if i put any side load on my leg the pain is un describable and I wonder if the top of the leg bone has cracked. leg is also sore at point of implant bone change. due to see consultant on 9th tried to get gp to get appointment moved but consultants holiday confused issues.

I can walk, sit and lie with some difficulty and pain but not as well as I have done previously  Any ideas any one.

    Sorry to hear you are suffering. Having had several fractures my experience has been unable to walk. Think I would be heading to A&E if worried

    Everyone's dread.  We are never in the clear.  Hope they can scan it to see if any things going on.  Otherwise soft tissue?  Hope it's not a fracture, but if it is, then rest rest rest.  I would rest up as much as poss before 9th or tell gp you'd like an urgent X-ray which would speed things up before surgeon appt.  did you do anything physical prior to the pain that might have caused it.  What a huge worry and always the interminable wait,  good luck

    Hi Pete ... I agree with Ann - if it is that bad and if you are so worried, go to A&E ... have an xray taken etc ... why wait until the 9th ?  do you take any pain killers?  

    take it easy and take care - big hug
