    THR Living without a hip

    Hi @Poppet The doctor I am seeing now is Dr Gamboa with Dr Morgan. They are both trying to help me but I have lost all confidence in all doctors specially after my first surgeon Dr Halliday said I am best off having the implant removed and live with no hip. I can not see Dr Gamboa until 15th...

    THR Living without a hip

    Ok I will check with the Doctor again. I have been seen by 4 OP surgeons and they all say it is not loose. I do not know where that leaves me now. I will be seeing my OP this week as my foot this morning has changed colour and a bit of swelling now with more pain then usual. I tell you I am sick...

    thanks @Josephine. I am unsure if it is loose as they have been in there twice now and said it was not loose. I am in trouble now as the pain has got worse over time. I am afraid I will be unable to walk with crutches because it is that bad. I am really worried because no one really knows why I...

    Thanks for thinking of me @Poppet things are still the same living the best I can. I have seen a revision specialists and he was great, just wish I seen him before my first op. He has taken over from my previous doctor now so he is getting back to me after consulting my other Doctor. He believes...

    @Josephine Hi, Sorry for the delay things have been tough. It is a challenge for me to sit down for 15 minutes at the computer desk. I will try and get the photos that you requested. I really appreciate your interest and everyone's comments. I have an appointment to at the Wesley Hospital Pain...

    THR Living without a hip

    Just thinking out loud. Lets just say my problem might be an infection but I have no signs of being unwell and blood tests are all clear. The first operation I had I felt this pain in my groin as soon as I woke up. Surely an infection would not give me this pain 2 hours after the first operation...

    Thanks @PA Gal I must say I think I have better care on here then all the doctors I have seen. My wife is just amazing she does everything that I can not do. The kids have had it tough but lucky for me I have great friends with the same age kids and they line up to help out. They even held a...
