Hi I have now just had surgery to put cap liner put in , one day in . My surgeon is a specialist in revision hip surgeries and has been my surgeon throughout , a lot of my problem is muscle deterioration 😔 but am a little skeptical as he said he changed stem shaft and Ball as well ? So does that mean some where loose ? He said everything looked firm and custom cage is secure . I just have to trust it was 🤨 I to have a brace and wore it for 2 months after last dislocation until now .
I have stood up but not taken a step as such my anxiety flew through the roof . We shall see what today brings . Thanks

Glad to hear you are in good hands. I had to have both ball & cup changed after dislocation, yours sounds a lot tougher.
Hang in there - as I always say (and literally in your case) - recovery will begin with baby steps.

@amallasch It's understandable that you are anxious to take that first step, especially considering everything you have been through. I think P.T.S.D. due to medical issues isn't acknowledged enough. It is also true that having a serious medical issue most often goes hand in hand with depression and anxiety.
Let us know how those first steps go. All of us are rooting for you.
