I have had a hip replacement that didn,t work. My whole leg got infected, they had to remove the prosthetics put in my hip. I,m now going on 6 years with just scar tissue in that hip area. I walk with a walker, and I have a limp but have not had any other problems. Thank GOD

Does it still hurt to walk with a walker or does it get better? I just had an antibiotic spacer put in a week ago and I feel like I’m helpless because of the pain.
Hi, your part was very encouraging to me. Can't you tell me when did you know it was time to start walking on your hip? Did you do it with PT at first? What does it feel like? About 6 months ago, my hip was permanently removed. When I put weight on my leg, I never know what I'm going to get. Sometimes it just feels spongy, sometimes it feels like it collapses, and sometimes it feels like there are a bunch of large rocks in there that my femur can't quite find a perch on. Thanks for sharing, Janeen
Not meaning to be rude or mosey but I’m curious if you work a job? I too am newly living without a hip and wondering what I will be able to do for work.

Could you provide more details regarding your daily activities and your “cans and cants”. I am glad you are doing well.
