    Hip Infection Spacer information needed please

    Hello ladies...I've just read all your posts as I will be going in for the spacer surgery in a couple of weeks. It sounded pretty scary about the pain and limitations. But I'm glad that I was able to read your thread because you just don't get the full story from the doctors. I went and talked...

    Hip Infection Going on to surgery # 8 & 9 for same hip

    Thank you Josephine! I would really like to know more about the Dr in Texas and his interests! I am very scared about having to not only have these surgery fixes, but future orthopaedic surgeries on my other hip, knee and foot. If my surgical rate continues as it has, I guess I should expect...

    Hip Infection Going on to surgery # 8 & 9 for same hip

    Hi Everyone! Hope everyone is doing ok? I've been home now for nearly a month and the hip is finally feeling better. Since my last revision surgery, I had two more washouts because of leaking fluid from the incision. Just started physio. I'm still on one crutch because the left hip is still...

    Marg34...I actually like the surgeon at TW. Something went wrong and I will find out! But the dr from toronto actually tracked me down to weeks later on my cell # which he got from my daughter and called me personally while I was in hospital in Ottawa before the last surgery!
