Hi all,
I've not been here for a while. It's changed quite a bit.
Anyway. THR January 2014 and TKR March 2015.
I've been getting quite a lot of pain in my hip the last few months, normally when standing/walking. I've just been to see my consultant who took some xrays and says it looks like I have cortical impaction. He showed me the xrays and it looks like the stem is rubbing on the bone and causing the bone to react.
Has anybody had this? How did it go. He said I need to keep an eye on it and go back in 12 months or sooner depending on the pain. I'm only 33 now so a revision would be a really bad idea.
I'm interested to hear your stories.
Thanks .. I hope you're all doing well.
