ALL of your hip replacements? How many have there been? Did you have to redo?
I’m getting a little nervous about the surgery. Would you be open to sharing your experience?

My wife had Total bilateral in 2011, a revision on her Right in 2012 due to issues, a revision on her left in 2018 due to Cobalt / Chromium poisoning and in 2022 the complete removal of her Right implant, medicated spacer placed for 8-10 weeks with IV antibiotic, new revision hip implant placed. So, long story short, one can have more than one surgery ( revision). Today, her hips are not the issue, it’s her lower back, they say from using so much prednisone over the years for various treatments.
A good hip surgeon can get your hip replaced and have you up and moving in no time! Do a little research before it’s too late! Good Luck!
