Detailed Answer:
Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my opinion i do not think his second hip replacement surgery may have caused cardiac atrial fibrillation even if it caused some sort of infection in hip joint .
I think his limbing gait is due to inflammation of his hip joint maybe he got infection in his synthetic joint that causes his pain and gait . i think when the inflammation around his hip joint decreases his leg will move more freely and with less pain .
You mentioned taking tylenol , gabapentin which will help with his hip pain . he may use a muscle relaxant , B12 vitamin supplementation , hot massages with topical gels , physiotherapy and spinal straightening exercises will be effective for most of cases .
I think his cardiac problem is due to aging , medication , stress . hope your husband feel better soon . just try to decrease his weight , avoid heavy lifting , vigorous movements and follow physiotherapy with a chiropractor and he will be fine until he meets his orthopedic for proper evaluation and management .
