Hi my hippie friends, I got the news last week my implant is infected, I am scheduled to have 4th surgery to put an antibiotic spacer put in on July 29th. After 2 months I will be tested to see if the infection is gone, if it is I will have a 5th surgery to have a whole new implant put in.. wish me lots of luck and prayers.. Thanks for listening..

Denise,
How did you get an infection in the hip? It is worrying that you can get the hip infected after it has been in for a while.
Good luck, when you go through your surgery again hopefully, it will be your last.
