Walking without a hip joint

My leg moves dramatically internally and without warning when I put weight on it, which makes me feel like the leg is unstable. I thought that maybe a brace would help with that. Do you feel movement within your leg when you use it?

I feel that when I move the leg it’s like it’s just there and hard to lift when walking. After the holidays are over I am going to try and see if I can have a hip put in. I still need to get stronger before I can do anything. I want a consultation to see if it’s possible. I was told to go to California or Mayo Clinic in Arizona.

Sounds like what happen after my 1st hip replacement and they found that it was loose n freely moving in my leg

Hi Janeen. I do have a problem without the hip but I also have a drop foot which I can’t feel when I walk. I’m hoping the drop foot comes back but no one knows. My leg feels like it’s dead and heavy. I don’t know about a brace but I do wear one for my drop foot. I am going to try at a later time to get a new hip but I have to lose weight first. Wishing you the best🙏
