I'm sorry for being away for so long. My family wanted me to concentrate on being well hoping it would make me get better but it didnt seem to work out. This is a continuation of my initial thread at https://bonesmart.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2611
It's about 5 months now, i'm not any much better. My knee is still very stiff although i see a physio therapist twice a week to force it to bend as prescribed by the OS. I think it was been forced too hard yesterday as i've been feeling some serious pain on my hip which gets worse when i try to move and it's also swollen. I've not been able to move out of my room since then due to the pain and funny movements i feel on my hip when i attempted to.
The surgery wound is not any better. The OS saw it 4 days ago, he put me on a new set of antibiotics and asked me to come for a procedure where he'll clean up the wound. I don't have that much confidence in the hospital or doctor to go back there for the procedure.
I've not been able to go anywhere else because of the difficulty in moving around hoping with time i would get a little better to handle it.
I've been very depressed lately and still confused. I found an OS in india which i contacted through https://www.hipsurgery.in. He said the hip will need to be revised by first taking out the implant, treating the infection then putting in new implants.
I don't know how i can make it that far to india considering my current state but i'm thinking i should try. I don't know if i'm making a good choice or if there's is a better option because i'm just looking for a place that can really fix my problems and not just attempt to fix it. I'm really considering treatment outside the country. Please help
