How To Confirm Wearing Out Of The Prosthesis?
Yes. I have had two hip replacements. Left in 2006 and right in 2008. I walk daily and, until recently, rode stationary bikes for 20 min every other day. Lately, I can feel parts move in my newest (right) prosthesis. No pain, but repositioning of parts when I get up to stand from sitting. Is my right prosthesis wearing out already?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As it is already 6 years passed since the prosthesis done, the possibility of wearing off may not be possible.
The other possibilities may be the inflammation of the surrounding tissues, or muscles like stretch.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis. You may need to have an M.R.I, for confirmation.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken and sea foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
