    Thanks to you all for your kind wishes It's nearly 2 weeks since surgery and this has been so far the easiest. Not much pain...more discomfort. I'm not using crutches anymore and have started doing some basic household duties like a load of washing and just hanging it on an airer and folding...

    Hip Infection Infection, dislocation, revisions, & life beyond

    Hi everyone I Saw the surgeon today and he was really good. He Explained that the chance of dislocation after 1st surgery is less than 1% but after a revision it rises to 10-20%. He said that the capsule around the joint....is like a ligament and after surgery would take about 3 months to...

    Hip Infection Infection, dislocation, revisions, & life beyond

    Hi just a question that @Josephine or other moderators may know....is it possible that the infection could have something to do with the dislocation? Although I remain on abx I'm assuming that it probably doesn't but who knows??? Will be interesting to see what the Dr says on Thursday Xxx
