When you have a hip removed, one leg will be shorter than the other. No matter how hard they try you can’t get a shoe built up that will provide the perfect support. My hip is curving, plus I now have artheritis in the back. This is causing back pain, plus my sciatica is aggravated which causing pain. This is one reason I tell people to always use a walker or at least a cane to help you stand as straight as possible.
I wanted to show you my husband's hip right now, that's the first pic, the second is HIS BACK! Broken sticking out of his back because his back broken then collapsed! His right hip has been replaced twice and he is about to have to go through a lot of long dangerous surgeries. His right hip , shown in first pic is actually out of the joint! The right hip has gone up 3" since this happened, he has now stated swelling badly, so much that I have been marking his swelling with a pen to see how much it's changed each day. He might have a chance at having his hip replacement taken out and nothing put back in, not even a spacer, or they want to try to rebuild his pelvis via bone grafts and many surgeries ahead , or if they find a infection in his bones again, they will have to go in scrape out the infection and see what happens then. We need someone who is or has gone through these things PLEASE contact me asap on my FB at LizZi Z Odom, I really need to talk to others about this. Now his surgeries are postponed until.......... Lord have mercy 🙏! Can anyone else help us here with anything you know about? 3 days ago his right hip started to get this red blotchy area around his 10 year old hip scar on the broken side. WHAT DO WE DO??????
