Has anyone out there had hip replacement after a dvt? I had my right hip replaced last Nov. I developed a dvt in my left leg two months after surgery. I've been on blood thinners since then. I have also been on a waiting list for the left replacement. I have an opportunity to have the surgery on Thursday this week. However, the surgeon seems concerned about the clot. He had me do an ultrasound today. What I could see on the screen looks like the clot is still there. I'm afraid he will cancel the surgery.
Anyone been there? Is it possible to have a successful surgery? The drs. said I should be on blood thinners about 3 months this time to be sure.
I just know I'm in so much pain with this left hip, I want the surgery done ASAP.
