@dannyandebbie yes it took years out of your wife’s life and my life , years we could have been spending time doing something we enjoy. The primary surgery - ABGll Mom was in a class action lawsuit suit , yes the attorney that handled that case I called recently and will not handle this new one because it’s not a class action multi million $ case but only a single one person $700,000 case. And this 3rd revision 2026 is bc of the primary surgery. Now I have bladder and colon retention and still the Medicare health system at OHSU is covering up Stryker and the revision components I have proof it’s not anything else all testing proves it’s the implants from 2017 failure that took 2 years to recover from by the way. I waited e months to see the in-network surgeon who dismissed me in less than 15 minutes shoving a xray in my face saying all components look ok and that it’s all in my back. Then abruptly left the exam room without even a physical examination of left leg rotation or addressing several other serious issues including foot drop. And by the way this surgeon was the MD assistant surgeon in training with the OHSU complex revision surgeon at OHSU in 2017.

Last month I became a member of an out of network health insurance company my dissatisfaction with the Medicare Regence PPO health coverage is …. I have joined a private practice PC that takes time to review my health issues and a private practice revision surgeon my PC referred me to. I am worth more than the bottom line on any corporate spread sheet or the standard 15 minute exam for my complex hip replacement issues, & or the standard script corporate surgeons use to dismiss patients. I am not dealing with any more stress from them.

I have received excellent treatment from out of network PC and meds to help me thru the nerve suppression from the implants and bladder retention . Also I have a systemic itching in my entire body from head to toe caused by polyethylene cups and implant materials leaching in my tissue around the implants. My PC addressed that issue by steroids and a tapper down for one week. It is such a relief to not constantly scratching myself raw. No topicals help and it’s a systemic problem and need to remove the old implants.
