    Hi Joe

    I’m sorry to hear about all the problems you’ve had I’m only 2 weeks post op I really hope they manage to sort out all your problems because the reason we have the op in the first place is for a better quality of life and that’s definitely not the case for you 

    Kind Regards

    Teresa

    Hi Joe

    Oh my goodness you have had a terrible time. As Theresa said, I hope they manage to improve things for you. I had a hip replaced 9 years ago. It became infected and was replaced last year and I am feeling much better - nearly back to normal. You should be on your way to normal life too. Sorry that it's not going well

      I am so sorry you are having such a horrible time. If you haven't, you might want to see another surgeon for a second opinion and for pain management. I feel it's unreasonable to leave you in such pain. I've had complications but nothing like yours. Take care of yourself!

    I am so sorry this has happen to you, and your only 55, I am only 48 and had no problems at all with left THR but have had 3 surgeries on right Hip, I got my picc line out and am hopeful to get my final right hip on February 12th,,, I can’t imagine what king of pain an frustration you must be going through,, sadly we have to trust the surgeon who done original surgery to stick with it and stay at the drawing board and do everything he or she can to get you strong and on your feet pain free,,, one thing I plan to do is go back to my chiropractor after I heal from final surgery,, it seemed to help with pain after left hip,, I couldn’t afford to go but a few times,, but it felt good and like I was getting back inlighned cause hip replacements are so brutal to get get them in and also out.

    My prayers are with you for the best possible outcome for you,, eventually I’m sure you will be back on you feet and fine again,, I know weeks ago I wasn’t even optimistic for my own recovery, the pain was so bad.
