Hi,
I have bilateral hip prothesthes. I had the right hip done in 2014, which has been great. O had the left hip replaced this past April. My back is killing me. The implant is a lot larger and has pushed my pelvic bone up about a half inch. My leg is also a quarter inch longer than my right leg. My back is killing me and I feel lopsided and am in a lot of pain. I am seeing a revision surgeon on 9/12 to get an opinion. I'm afraid that if I do need a revision, it wont be possible to get a smaller cup, since they probably had to remove bone to make this cup fit. Looking for opinions on this large implant and suggestions.
