My biggest concern is the leakage. This has been going on since September 2018 and they don’t know how to stop it. By the looks of other people’s posts, I might have to have the hip prosthetic out completely, another full round of antibiotics, then I might have a chance to start getting better. Of course this means I will be without my right hip for ever.
Has everyone been tested for metal allergies? I’m waiting for this to happen so I can rule it out. I’ve been to an Internist/Allergist who is checking me for special bloodwork, a Rheumatologist who has decided my arthritis has nothing to do with my situation, and I’m waiting for a report from the hospital where my original hip replacements were done to see the manufacturer and components of each prosthetic. I have not had a problem with my left hip!
Did anyone have an option to go on long term antibiotics? I’m just trying to gather information to make an informed decision.
