Hi so how has it been walking with no hip ? How was it to start off with ? Can you get around ok ?
I have had 6 hip replacements , 6 dislocations , and now 2nd infection . They are re testing and I’m hopeful , if none I’ll have a capitulation done to keep ball in ...
I’m struggling to comprehend how no hip thing works
What have you learnt
Thanks ang

Hi I’ve been without my right hip over two years now. The first 6 months was the hardest. I was using crutches or a wheelchair. But I started slowly working on my exercise and getting strength back and I can walk unassisted now. I do have about a 3 inch leg length difference and have to wear a lift. Yesterday my new surgeon agreed to replace my hip.. but with how good I’m doing and all the complications I can have I don’t know what I’m going to do.
