Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain After Hip Replacement

I just typed it…I have a dilocacted hip replacement and a fractured femur. The hip replacement is 4 1/2 years old. I had 3 dislocations shortly after the replacement was done. The surgeon redid the hip replacement and said to me that I would have no more problems. Things have been great until a few months ago….thepain has gottten progressively worse. I called over a month ago and he gave me an appointment for June 15th. I recently got bumped to July 15/16. I can’t walkon it, I have to use crutches all the time, I”ve lost my part time job and I have no pain meds. I can’t possibly wait that long. My family is advising me to go for a wrongful practice lawsuit. I just want my hip fixed .Please advise me. Thank you. Sincerely, Marilyn

Hello There

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that skeletal injuries can give you pain despite taking best treatment. You can take over the counter painkillers and take calcium and vitamin d supplements. Physiotherapy treatment can help you in improving walk.

Hopefully this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
