Severe, debilating pain 10 months after anterior hip replacement

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have tossed around the idea of a second opinion and feel this may be my best option. I have not discussed the Mayo Clinic article on inflammatory neuropathy with my surgeon at this point as I am trying not to overstep. This guy has the reputation of being the best around in his field of joint replacement and is very confident. Unfortunately I am not sure where or which direction to go for a second opinion. I live in North Carolina but I’m not opposed to traveling. I just want to feel better.

I too was unable to lift left leg after anterior replacement. It was my iliopsoas which was cut and now I'm doing ok.

I live in Raleigh and use Dr. Rhett Hallows at Emerge Ortho. He worked with a guy at Duke for 12 years who was a specialist in anterior approach. He replaced my hip 6 weeks ago and progress is going well. He is very personable and listens to what you have to say. Sounds like you need a second opinion with fresh eyes. Good luck.
