Revision THR What all does this involve?
1. My scar is towards the back so I am guessing Posterier. 2. At this very moment and most of today no pain. I feel a tad bit sore on the side of that hip. That's all. This pain isn't constant. It might hurt something awful for 3 days in a row. I mean constant. Doesnt seem to correlate with...- Angie68

I'm taking 600 msg of ibuprofen that doesn't faze it. That's all. I'm doing nothing different. I am very active within my home. Babysit my grand baby but otherwise not extremely active. I don't walk a lot or anything. Just normal house wife stuff- Angie68

Revision THR What all does this involve?
Hello. I am back. I am 2 years out from my 3rd revision and I am having some problems with my left hip. It started about a month ago with a pinching burning pain in my buttock and great soreness down the side. Now I can't stand to lay on that hip for more than a few minutes at night. The most...- Angie68

@Josephine I went to see OS yesterday for 6 month follow up. X-rays looked good & examination went well. He said we finally have a stable joint. However, He wasn't really happy with how I am walking. (Neither am I) I have a severe walk, sway? Waddle? I don't even know what to call it. He said...- Angie68

Success of open or closed reduction
I'm doing great at the moment. As I last updated I had to have an open reduction & basically another revision. My Ortho used a cup with lips all around it this time & found it to hold much better. I went for my 6 week post op about 2 weeks ago & everything looked great. I feel amazing with zero...- Angie68

@Josephine I am 13 days post op from my second revision in 8 weeks. I had my staples removed 2 days ago and I am feeling great! I have no pain, no grinding, no slipping feeling in the joint. I feel like I have very little limp at all. My limp before was very, very severe. I swayed back & forth...- Angie68

Revision THR What all does this involve?
@Josephine Went in for my possible closed/open reduction yesterday. It ended up being a revision & I'm okay with that. Dr said that this was the best path for long term success. He saw how this happened & it was a rotation of my foot. The new cup has a lip on it & he did his best to make it...- Angie68

Success of open or closed reduction
My OS is in Indianapolis Indiana. I am about 80 miles away. His name is David A. Fisher & he practices at OrthoIndy Orthopedic Hospital. The latest data I could find said his average amount of hip replacements from 1990 to 2010 was 141 a year & 35 revisions a year. It says he now averages 650...- Angie68

Success of open or closed reduction
What is frustrating is this is my 3rd Ortho in 6 yrs & 2 of them (including my current OS) have been on the list Jamie has recommended for my area.- Angie68

Success of open or closed reduction
I am hoping this doesn't get moved to my recovery thread. It just doesn't get much action anymore & I need some answers. I am 46 and was born with CHD. I just had my 2nd revision on my left hip. I have had 2 on the right. I went for my 6 week post op a couple of days ago. I have been non weight...- Angie68

Revision THR What all does this involve?
@Josephine Honestly he may have just said he would replace the cup. I was reeling from the news & wasn't absorbing very well. I heard ball but he may have just been saying something in reference to it. My OS was totally blowing this off as no big deal. Just a minor set back. He acted as if I...- Angie68

@Josephine No I have no choice. Jo do you think I have any chance that if he pops it into place of it not dislocating again? It seems that I've not read or heard of much success after a dislocation. Will I ever live a normal life?- Angie68

Revision THR What all does this involve?
@Josephine My 6 week appt was today. I didn't get good news but according to my OS it's not terrible. My X-ray shows I'm dislocated. My ball is out of place. I have always heard that is excruciating. Why am I not in pain? He suspects it might have happened in hosp while I was still numb. I...- Angie68

@Josephine Im a little over 4 weeks out and doing great! I have zero pain! None! I hurt so bad before that this is nothing. I do have some incision pain and a little zapping of the nerves here & there but no biggie. One thing I have noticed this time that is bothering me a little is...- Angie68
