Opinion

... in response to Hip Replacement Problems
  1. Linda Jones Friedel Linda Jones Friedel United States says:

    I fell in 2012 and broke (shattered) my right hip. Went to the ER, had to lay there for 13 hours before a surgeon finally came.  He did the surgery, not a total hip replacement. That only lasted a couple of months before it became unattached.  I went back for a total hip replacement, and have had pain ever since, also I loose my balance a lot. I can walk for about a half hour, then the pain starts.
    I've always slept on my right side, but when I do this, I wake up in extreme pain.  I've gone to see other doctors, but they say it's just fine!!!  No one wants to clean up someone else's mess, it seems.
    The pain goes down to my foot.   I also have Osteoporosis.
    My scar is 13 inches long, and the muscle never grew back, like the doctor said it would.
    Is there any hope for me????   I want my life back.
