Five years ago I had a left side Total Hip operation. I've had trouble with it ever since. It started to get numb during physiotherapy shortly afterwards. The numbness has continuously become worse; it wakes my up at night because even though it is numb there is a pain within.

I desperately need help now because after the operation my left leg was at least 1" shorter, which has caused my right leg to take the strain; then suddenly the cartilage cracked through on my right knee and I am in agony with that too. I can't walk without support and I am at the stage where I need to see a top consultant because I'm getting nowhere at present and need some very good help and advise please.
