Unfortunately, there’s nothing short of replacing the stem, but at this point, it’s like having the whole thing done over again. Since it’s the stem, I don’t think that’s something anybody (Dr) would do except for maybe life threatening conditions. Pain meds…or meditation to become enlightened & overcome
🤷‍♀️
I started coming here, (Connect Mayo) for answers, ideas…however, I had so many things wrong, I probably have posts under several “issues”….some I probably have forgotten.
I’m not a Dr., but keep trying, it couldn’t hurt. Maybe you’ll get lucky…luckier than I was
😊

@edith60 - I am sorry to read of your problem. I am, however, grateful that you posted because you described my problem to a tee! I had hip replacement 21 months ago and have been having this issue off and on since about 6-8 mos after surgery. I went to my surgeon last July (2023) and he took and x-ray and said the prosthetic he placed looked good. I told him that there are times that the pain is so severe I can't walk at all unless I have a cane or something to lean on and he said sounds like a nerve problem and wants to send me to another Dr. These visits are $600 a pop. Were you ever able to get a satisfactory answer and resolution for your pain? Trying to educate myself as much as possible before I see another Dr. Thank you!
