Insert in femur never attached properly to bone after hip replacement

I had my left hip replacement done on June 29,2021. I was getting along well with it, no pain, falls, etc for several weeks, then things just "didn't feel right" so I went back to the surgeon.
He took xrays, and determined that I had "subsistence" in my hip, and that it should be fine now. A few days later I was in TERRIBLE PAIN and went back to the surgeon. MORE SUBSTITENCE!!! This time about 3/4" slippage.
Had hip replacement surgery on Aug. 17, 2021.
Constant pain while standing, walking, or any other time when I put weight on my left leg.
I've had Xrays, MRI, Physical Therpy, Pain Management, Myofacial Release, meds, etc. but no relief!
I recently contacted my surgeon, and asked him if there was any way that I could have Xrays taken while weight-bearing on my left leg. So yesterday I had a "Bone Scan" to see if that would determine my pain.
Going back to surgeon on Aug 22 to find out what the Bone Scan results are.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!!! Life sucks and it's getting harder and harder to want to do things!
Any of you had similar experiences? Any ideas????
Thank you!!!

Two terms you need to look up, Inadequate Implant fixation and Aseptic Loosening. I have an appointment with a new surgeon that specializes in revisions in October. I also have an appointment in a couple weeks with an attorney, I am over two years into this, the pain keeps me from doing some jobs, I have a plumbing company, and most of my hobbies have been cut way back or eliminated. Forget elk hunting or flyfishing the river. I need to have my left hip replaced, but until the right one is repaired I cannot risk it. The pain in my right hip which was replaced is much worse than the pain in the left and far worse than what it was prior to surgery.

My heart is breaking for you. I had back to back femur breaks on left leg in 2017. I was left with a dropped foot and a trapped nerve across peroneal nerve. The nerve cannot be released from metal from surgery because if it gets nicked or crimped, paralysis could happen. I will never walk unassisted again, but I am BLESSED and still on the green side of the grass. Lots and lots of pain. Adding you to my prayers.🤗🙏❤️💜
