Me too,close to 6 years now,doctors are no help. Few alternate means work,if at all. Those people who have recovered are not very sympathetic ,you don’t know how lucky you are.

I agree with you. When talking with others who have had a successful outcome, I get the feeling they think I SHOULDN’T be having any trouble, that it must somehow be my fault or that I had a bad surgeon. They have no idea how lucky they are and how difficult it is to admit to in the face of their success. I often think a news organization or national newspaper should pick up this story and profile some of us who are suffering with failed hip replacements. It might spur on some doctors to look into the problem more.
