I just got told yesterday that dr. Will not do a hip replacement. A lot of people walk without a hip and I can put weight on my leg with no hip. I’m so over it I had osteomyelitis 7 weeks with IV antibiotics. He also so said a girdlestone wouldn’t work. I’m getting a 2nd opinion but ., I really don’t know if I can weight bearing on my leg. I’m in therapy. I hope your fairing better then me.
