    @Josephine I know you are extremely knoweledgeable about THR and I would like your thoughts on loose stems and persistent knee/thigh/groin pain.

    @chalcedonian1 Thank you for your thoughts. I have already consulted an attorney for the personal injury claim. It will be a long legal process, but one worth pursuing. This fall happened where there is plenty of insurance to compensate me for my unnessary medical bills and pain and...

    THR After THR ,knee pain

    Hi Samuel, I too had terrible knee pain after my THR revision in January 2018.

    @Layla thank you for your support. I know it would be difficult and painful to visit my daughter right now, but I miss them so much. They won’t be able to visit me until late July. They have 6 children, so when they visit it can be overwhelming for us, even without broken bones. But it is...
