I had 4 hip replacement surgeries and had 3 infections. In the last surgery they put in a hip spacer with anti-infection stuff added to the cement. I still need a cane or two or a walker to get around. The hip seems to give when I walk. The dr. says I should leave it in indefinitely but I want to walk like a normal person again without mobility aids. Has anyone been able to walk normally with a hip spacer?
