How To Confirm If The Hip Surgery Was Successful?

About 5 years ago I fell and fractured my right hip. I had surgery to repair the hip and had nine weeks of physical therapy. My hip was not repaired properly and I still cannot walk without using a cane and it is very difficult and painful. I was told by a different doctor that the glue holding the bone together was not working and I should have the surgery again. The surgeon who did the surgery told me I was fine. What happened that the surgery was not successful?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears that the physiotherapy is not satisfactorily done. Because after the hip surgery, the work out should be extensive.
I advise you to discuss with your surgeon for diagnosis and treatment .
He may prescribe you injections of vitaminB1,6,and 12 for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically. acyclofenac, paracetamol, multivitamins, calcium and protein supplements.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
