Hello, I'm sorry your going thru this. I know how you feel Doctors dont listen to their patients. I'm currently without a hip its been almost 5 months. I believe my infection is gone now i was on IV antibiotics and then oral antibiotics and then i got pneumonia. I'm gonna DEMAND my hip be put back in. I went thru 1 total hip replacement and 2 revision i also live in pain everyday. Thank God for our husbands. I don't know many men that would deal with al of this.. Good Luck

I too had right hip removed because of a staph infection; I've been cleared of staph. I have no spacer in the hip and I am in a lot of pain when physical therapy tries to work with me so I have made very little progress in walking. I also have a deteriorating back which causes a lot of pain along with groin pain which I can't seem to overcome and walk. It has been 5 months now and I still can't walk. I want a hip replacement but the surgeon says I have to be mobile before he can do surgery, it is so frustrating.
