Fractured
senior
Here is my story...
I was bone on bone on my left hip. I went in for THR on 07 Aug 2017. One week post THR I begain having horrible pain when walking to the point of screaming. Several calls to my Ortho and I was told to give it time. 22 Aug 2017 I go in to have the staples removed. I could not walk and had to be in a wheel chair.
X rays were taken and the reason for my pain was revealed. This is how I left the hospital after the first surgery 07 Aug.
23 Aug I was back in the OR for a revision. Its been 4 months and Im still in pain ranging from 6 to a 9. Thigh muscles are very sore from being operated on twice in 15 days.
So in a nut shell. My femur was fractured while inserting the implant during the 1st surgery and I left the hospital that way. Ive been in therapy for 4 months now. I still have at least 3 more months
