[Bonesmart.org] Thigh pain [Bonesmart.org] Thigh pain [Bonesmart.org] Thigh pain Evening all since I saw the doctor at A&E my hip has got better by the day. We think the GP moved my leg and upset the joint, the A&E doc then moved it back into position when she moved it.i have gradually got walking and building up the muscle again and it’s going great.
Forward to today !!
Seems my knee is nearly bone on bone. The long term solution would be a knee replacement but as the implants from my revisions are so long this would be risky.
I have have a mega steroid and lignocaine injection to see if it helps.
Thought you might like to see a pic of my shiny hips
 
Happy Tuesday!
Hmm, interesting pair you have there. If you don't mind me asking, what are the white random
thread like objects, off to the side, on the right, that look like they're serving no purpose?
X-rays are confusing to me. Amazing how we function with that hardware inside of us.
Hopefully the injection buys you time with your knee.
Stay in touch. We'll be here.

They are bits of wire from previous surgeries which they couldn’t remove without causing problems. I have had ove 50 surgeries on my poor hips. From the age of 2 1/2.
Next time I go I plan to ask for older x-ray pics as I think they would have lots of stories to tell
 
Oh my stars...
50.:thud:
You are one tough cookie and I'm so glad you have appointment soon.
I thought my Xrays were "interesting"
You've got me beat!
Hope today is a Good Day!:SUNsmile:
 
Wow, surprised to hear that it's just something they couldn't remove.
Fifty surgeries from the age of 2 1/2 is unbelievable. You poor dear!
Wishing you comfort moving forward.

Well August appointment wasn’t great. Only registrar available to see me. Seemed to think it was all my knee. Had steroid injection and the pain in my knee improved.
Fast forward to today. Stood my ground and saw the consultant. Seems the stem on my implant has dropped, is very loose and he couldn’t understand how I was still walking on it. !!
 
Glad that you were able to see a doctor and get more definitive information. On one hand, I'm sure it was a relief to know that something really was going on to explain your pain. On the other hand, what does this mean for you in terms of next steps? You must be pretty overwhelmed.
 
It means even more surgery. Another revision and pelvis repair then onto the knee
 
Oh, Millie---I am so sorry to hear this. Will it be soon? Is it the same surgeon who has done your surgeries? What do you do to keep your spirits up? You have been through so much.
 
Oh my stars...I do hope you are babying that hip.
Sincerest sympathy...and prayers for comfort as you go forward!:praying:
 
The consultant that did my original revision is now working in India teaching revisions to doctors over there. The chap who is doing this one it very experienced. I have had over 50 surgeries on my hips since birth. This one has come as a complete shock to me. I have been in pain since last May. As I also have fibromyalgia I wasn’t sure if it was just that playing up. I am having exploratory including aspiration of the hip in a few weeks and then surgery will be 6-9 months time.x
 
You have been through so much...I'm sure you are weary of the surgeries.
Is that your daughter on your avatar..t is such a sweet picture.:roseshwr:

The picture is me and my sister many years ago. I now have 2 wonder daughters and a granddaughter who is my special starx
 
Oh my stars...and what a little cherub she is.:angel:
Has to be a major motivation to keep striving to get better.
I know this failed stem just has to be another major disappointment...
I'll be praying for the very best outcome!:praying:
 
Wow, look at you three all gussied up for a special day. And how precious is that lil grand baby!
You've experienced so much. The amount of surgeries you've endured is unbelievable.
I'm so sorry this all continues. I wish you comfort and strength as you move forward.
Please stay in touch. We're here for you. We care.
Hugs

That little grand baby is adorable!!! Hopefully now that they have determined what is causing your pain, and you have a plan, things will start looking up. You mentioned surgery in 6-9 months. Is that how long it takes to get on the surgery list, or is there a medical need to wait for so long?
