I have total hip replacement surgery March 1, 2023. I did ok at first, did 13 sessions of pt, then things got worse. I still walk with a cane and my hip hurts so bad. I also have unexplained pain in my right leg? Seeing my 2d doctor next week. What exactly is involved in a revision replacement? I'm so frustrated and depressed. It hurts so bad to lean over or twist around. I still can't sleep on the surgical side. I want to be able to do things again. I just sit and lay around most of the time. The pain management doctors are so hard to deal with. I left my dr. a message I needed a refill. She did not fill it, no message, nothing. I have to go through the weekend without pain meds. Life is just impossible to get through right now. The pain management centers in my area are pitiful. Anyway, sorry to go on and on. Just wondering if a revision is discussed with my second hip dr., what does it involve? Thanks so much.

My understanding a revision is they take out hip and if infection is there antibiotics straps are put in you will not have a hip until infection is gone then a new hip is put in I have done so much research and find it could be multiple things all my Dr's say they don't know and tell me they don't know what else they can do for me I just think there all sticking together and don't want to go against each other I'm like you can't sleep on that side I have to sit a certain way now my back is so messed up from favoring my hip pain pills don't even help me anymore I'm been seeing young Dr's I'm looking now for and old one that has been around maybe they have experienced this some Dr's I've called said right off they don't do other Dr's revisions I'm almost at the end of trying I'm so sick of Dr's and test I never when to the dr inless I was bleeding or something bad since my surgery I've had over 50 different appointments with Dr's and test blood work I've had enough

Have you tried a guided steroid shot to help with pain until you figure out what is wrong?
