My unfortunate story started on November 24, 2008 getting Christmas decorations down from storage in the garage using a 6 foot step ladder. I ended up falling from the ladder onto the concrete slab and landed on my right hip, displacing the head of the femur.
I'm 61 yr. old, and have an above average activity level. I was in surgery the following morning. Also FYI, I'm a fairly muscular guy from the waist down.
My physical therapy ended March 1, 2009 and I felt I was on the road to a successful recovery (which I had worked very hard at). Since then, I have relapsed progressively into discomfort in the hip and thigh. I've researched my problems on the net to discover that I believe that the surgery chosen for me was not correct, based upon my age and level of activity!
I'd appreciate any feedback on this, or opinions. I'll submit details as to what procedure was done, following feedback/opinions
