I read your story I was wondering did you get you new hip and if so or you doing better I am also living with a antibiotics spacer in my hip and trying to live with the fact I will not get my hip back in due to infection I going to physical therapy 3 times a day I see improvement already I had hip surgery and elbow surgery in 2019 after 11 month without both and had another surgery in2021 for the same I want my right hip put back in but my doctor said no due to the infection might come back again and he would have to take my hold leg off
I'm in the same boat they are telling ill be hipless the rest of my life
I would love to learn how to walk on it this way but something must not be in there right cause after 2 yrs my femur bone just floppy around in there causing extreme pain
Good Morning Kjz,
I'm Peter. I've been without a hip for 4yrs. Pretty much like everyone here on this blog it was due to recurring infectionns if a hip replacement.
So, know you are not alone. Ask any n all questions. 🙂

Good morning Kjz,
Tell me your story.
I had a girdlestone resection in April of 2018 after two jop replacement infections in less than 10mos. Both times I went sepsis n almost died. But here I am 🙂.
Feel free ask or express yourself. It's not easy but over time it becomes your normal.
I need a walker to walk with or I'd fall down. I can take a few steps without provided I am holding onto a cupboard, chair, wall, etc. I have 3 1/2 inch leg length difference - left leg shorter - I wear a shoe with raised buildup on that leg; however I find I have to wear a moccasine or other flat shoe on right leg to balance myself out otherwise I limp badly and walking is then hard. I can go up some steps providing there is a solid right side railing; similarily can go downstairs one at a time using railing. Private message me at my email if you'd like - pfwalker@accesscomm.ca

1 ReactionGo by, talk to your doctor…I don’t think you should be feeling that kind of pain.

1 ReactionJust wanted to talk about other people's experience walking without a hip joint. Or what they are doing to move around. I am walking.

1 ReactionHi, hope you are well do you walk? If so details please. I was in wheelchair several years. Have been walking about one. Not easy.
