Is Anterior hip replacement the best type for hip replacement?

I'm 3.5 years out and still have leg pain and sometimes hip pain. The leg pain is numbness, pain, can't walk far, can't stand long and the idiot surgeon says there's nothing wrong, so looking at going to Mayo trained surgeons to reattach the nerves. Found the article on the internet.

I’ll be very interested to hear what happens at the Mayo Clinic. I had a top orthopedic surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic who botched my hip replacement causing “acute femoral nerve damage” according to the EMG test 6 wks post surgery. The surgeon said he didn’t understand why I had these complications because “the surgery went perfectly “. It has been 15 mos of nerve pain, constant PT and I couldn’t move my leg for the first 3 mos. Have seen 2 neurologists and after congratulating me on my PT journey one offered that I should just learn to live with the pain and keep taking gabapentin for the rest of my life (only 71) and the other offered a nerve block and surgery on my nerve. I do not trust surgeons anymore! How do you know if it is worth trying the Mayo Clinic ?

Wow, yep I have the same. I get the feeling that there isn't much expertise on how to fix me. These days all the emphasis is on sport injuries around here. It is so depressing. It shameful that doctors can do harm but not take responsibility when they do. Thank you for sharing. Anything I can learn is helpful.
