I heard people saying the have back problems from not having a hip joint. I was wondering what kind of back problems? I’ve always wondered how the rest of my body will be effected in the future..

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??????

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.

Your good hip is curving???

If one of his hips is dislocated that is a medical emergency and he needs treatment ASAP. I’ve had multiple dislocations and have had to wait maybe 24 hrs or so to get it fixed.

We both have called the hospital and they have refused to do anything, he had been in the accident in July 2019. So they are making him wait. The hospital he went to after the accident said he had a kidney infection ☹️😞😞 and sent him HOME ☹️! Once this is over we are going to see what we can do. He is suffering so much. We can't believe the hospital won't do his surgery he had one more test to get done , blood work, then he was supposed to have some kind of surgery. This Pandemic has really caused so much pain and heartache, I can't WAIT til it's GONE FOREVER !
