I apologize for all the questions, I'm just shocked that could even happen.

yes, and how are you doing now?
not to start a thread of horror stories here, but a friend of my parents had 2 hip replacements and "hardware" (manufactured in the USA) was already pulled of the American market when they placed it in her hip (in Holland) .... first one, then the other ... a BIG oopsie with a lot of pain and suffering - after years she did get compensation though -
this was a long time ago ...
Hope you are doing well -\
big warm hug

You poor thing! It must have been a nightmare for you. It's bad enough for those of us for whom the surgery and recovery goes well!
I would hope that you've had some recompense for this as it really is unacceptable.
I hope things work out for you this time.
Take care.

I'm 51. We have a family history of bad hips😕my brothers had theirs done at an early age as well. Today is my 9 th day post op. I'm feeling pretty good still working on the PT. debated long and hard the pros and cons of getting a new hip at such a young age but... It all came down to quality of life. My husband and I live on 15 acres in the woods and we also have an RV and love to camp... When my hip started preventing me from walking in the woods, I knew it was time. Good luck with everything... Keep it moving ❤️
