I wanted to give you an update. I have NO thigh pain. I no longer feel weird when I sit.vi have no real hop pain (except I fell yesterday!) Dr Hedley and his team have been amazing! He showed me my b4 and after! The original prosthesis looked like it was leaning into the pelvis at an angle. His is straight and it feels so good. I honestly had no idea how much pain i was in for the 2 years after I had my first surgery. He also said he would never do a surgery like mine on anyone. Hmmm? The doc told my husband I was 2 sick for a full hip. But after reading more about it. When a partial is done now it is not tried and true. There seems to always be a need for a full revision. So maybe they didnt care becuz I an older or something..I was really sick back then. The office that did my original surgery dont seem like the docs are bad. Maybe not as up to date as they shud be. The office staff was rude! I left them and let them know it. I even documented it in my chart online. The advocate started telling me not to yell on the phone when I wasnt. I think this was becuz of my age making it my fault. I thought about sending them a dischg letter but they beat me to it. Whatever, just dont go to core institute I felt so devalued. Been in this field my entire career! It's going to crap! So pay attention to your own care oeople!!
