Hip replacement
Posted , 10 users are following.
Did anyone else suffer electrical surgical burns during their hip replacement? There may be minimal damage on the skin that mostly heals within three weeks but the pain can appear in all muscle groups, nerves, hands and feet over the following months/years. I would be interested in speaking to anyone else who has also suffered these terrible injuries.

like the others, never heard of it. What does it actually mean, what are the after affects, and how exactly do you get them??

It would be really good to speak to someone who has had an external burn visible post surgery and indescribable pain.
Please do not let what happened to me put you off of surgery but if you have not yet had your surgery please ask the hospital to show you their guidelines for the use of electrosurgical equipment and evidence that the staff have had recent and on going training in this and a guarantee not to use alcoholic skin preparation. Best wishes

Where are you? If in the UK you should be following his up with the Health Ombudsman, if you've had no joy from your NHS Trust/local Healthwatch - the Citizen's Advice Bureau will give you chapter and verse on this.
Horrible to think that you have been suffering like this. Hope you're on the mend as best as you can be.
