Hi, I Had My 3 Rd Hip Revision In Nov.

Hi, I had my 3 rd hip revision in Nov. 2016. I was reamed out to max. ( 59 cm) with a 60 cm Smith and Nephew R3 acetebleum cup with a total replacement. I have had a total of 6 sisslocations on my right side alone. I have been having pain (siatic) I believe since surgery and a hard knot formed about 3 weeks after surgery. The Dr seemed to avoid my concern about the ball and an indentation what looks to be muscle, along incision. I finally could barely put any weight on my leg and finally did an x-ray. was found to have a fracture in acetableum wall and prothesis moved up about an inch. no fall or trauma. Just something that continued to get worse. I was told to keep legs spread to avoid disslocation, keep wieght off of leg and return for visit in a month. Im 53 yrs old. Is this normal to wait a month ? Thanks Neal
