That's great Jo thank you very much...much as I expected, by just knowing the pain was in the middle of the thigh and not muscular. Although I was nearly convinced by the consultant keep telling me to do more exercises that it was muscular.
I am trying to loose a few pounds for my holiday and started cycling and swimming, but no matter how much I done the pain was in the same place and about the same intensity. Then after a few days of that it was so painful I could hardly put my foot down! this has been going on for months.
A few questions need asking though.
WHY when the 1st consultant saw the bone scan and told me he thought the stem looked loose, when he had my on the operating table did he not just remove the it ??? I am a service engineer and if while at a job even if the parts look OK I will change them if the job requires it. its common sense!!
Also why is it some-days I can walk with only mild pain say 2 out of 10 and the for what seems like a random act, am I up to 8 out of 10 and even a seldom yelp of pain?? I hope this is not just because its moving around in my bone as the thought of that makes me a bit queasy.
And I know this is not a very British question but as this was all done privately ( I am not rich its a company scheme) can some sort of monies be paid back...let alone the last 3 years of hydrotherapy, physiotherapy and endless appointments with the consultant....and of course the 3 years of pain and none movement, and not being able to work sometimes!!!
