Thanks Josephine that link was to the knees, but I found the hips. We senior hippies shold know our way around the site One of the things bothering me is all the popping in my good hip, causing it to hurt. My pelvis doesn't feel aligned and bursitis is flaring. How is healing altered with a revision, when the joint capsule is already scared down and you've had bursitis and other muscle problems for a few years? It's not all bad - I can sit longer without pain, and the pain is much less than before. It's worse than a few weeks ago, but not like the shopping overdo pain.
I felt better aligned before, and walked without all this snap, crackle, pop. The Dr. did move the ball all the way into the cup. I had a +4 liner and the ball was about halfway out of the cup. This surgeon fixed that, along with using a modular stem to make other adjustments.
And the leg lengths are perfect. Is this my muscles adjusting to new lengths and offsets? Or do I need to go back to my cane? Or my Dr.?
Thanks Jo
