Severe, debilating pain 10 months after anterior hip replacement

How does the Dr. determine you need a revision? Are they surgeons that identify their specialty as revision? . Most surgeons are not anxious to have anyone review their work for corrections. They are not eager to give you a name of anyone that will look at it either. Wish you luck. The third times the charm

I saw a specialist who specializes in hip revision. He ordered a hip scan with contrast. Said all was ok and sent me along the way without any advice. Now disabled, but surely some wizard doctor knows what happened to me! Any help out there?
Thanks!

@redbeets YES! There are Docs known for their revision skills! I go to the Cleveland Clinic as that’s what’s closest to where I live. On their site most Docs in their directory have a bio and many a personal video. I use this as well as read ALL their reviews and have been successful at getting great docs . Do your research and find someone who talks and has positive reviews on what you’re looking for. BTW… I have a son who is a doctor and he tells me a doc that doesn’t welcome you getting a second opinion is not the doc you want to go to! Good luck in your search.
