This is my very first time on this forum but as someone who has had both hips replaced I felt I could possibly be of help to others facing a hip replacement. But also I wanted to reach out to those that had experience with revision surgeries and also I am wondering as I was young when I had my first hips revised (30) is there a limit to the number of revisions you can have.
My consultant told me there was nothing major wrong with my hip but I decided to get a scan which shows significant loosening around the socket. Needless to say I am terrified now and scared of what lies ahead. The pain is becoming worse and I hate putting off the inevitable.
What would be particularly helpful would be any recommendations for brilliant surgeons who are not phased by complex cases.
On a brighter note to those of you dreading your first hip replacement, I would definitely recommend it as it gave me 15 pain free years I would not have had , in fact the worse but is waiting for the operation afterwards the road to recovery can be exciting as you begin to realise that you have the freedom to do the things you enjoy once again.
