Hello Everyone,
I was seen by doctor Peatman assistant, Sarah yesterday she said the following:
Because of the leg length difference, I probably have bursitis in that area which she administered an injection after a painful examination. The sciatic nerve is also being affected as well as the lower back and left hip. She noticed a significant difference in the leg length. She explained a revision is a challenging surgery but it appears I have no other choice, it is tough on the body and the surgery is longer than a THR. I am subject to be off work eight weeks plus. If I was interested in a revision she would order a scan of the cup to see how it is fitting. She also ordered lab work to see the inflammation and infection markers in my body. Since the revision is a big deal she wouldn’t know if I am a good candidate until she gets certain information from the tests. This is the first time I was seen by Sarah. I like her! She was very thorough. My impression is she is just as good and the OS who was out of town. She spent quality time with me. I asked would she be in the operating room. She said, “Yes”. I told her let’s proceed to surgery.
It would be nice if God would heal me without surgery but if He don’t I am going to trust Him that He is leading me to do what's best for me. My life is at a stand still because of this leg length. Until next time friends!
Happy Friday!
