Yes but because of some type of disconnect mine hasn't started yet. I am doing what I can based on what they gave me when I had it done before I also need speech therapy so I have been calling to light a fire but yes I will have home health.
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!!

5 Reactions@binblessed - I am so glad to hear about how well your recovery is going. I LOVED your statement about NO thigh pain. Just curious, are you still doing PT or is all that over?
<p>I have tried multiple docs and different views, exrays and bone scan show no problems. Dong physical therapy to no avail. Tried injections less than one week relief then right back to percocet and 800 mg of motrin three times a day. Even CBD does not help.</p>
Wow, @racrob123 - I am so sorry to hear about your pain so long after hip replacement. I have had 2 knee replacements, but never a hip. I'm going to tag some people who have had hip replacements and maybe they can share some insight and advice. @beatricefay @mariemotte @laura1956 @scottb32
I'm glad you've had second opinion and more. It has to be discouraging for them to tell you that there are no problems. I'm wondering if your doctors have recommended any kind of pain management clinic?

2 ReactionsI just want to be done with this pain...it is depressing and stressful. I am still doing physical therapy until something better comes along. i don't know where I will go from here...
What would pain management do?

1 ReactionPain management clinic would assess all current medications, assist with starting pain diary, teach some other methods of pain control such as meditation, relaxation, pacing self with activities that worsen pain.I can’t speak for them all, but sometimes the support group alone is very helpful.

1 Reaction@racrob123 - So glad that @glasgow46 shared thoughts. I'm also thinking that a pain management assessment could help you determine if there were other options for medications that could work. Wishing you the best.
I am going to ask my doctor about a blood test for metal sensitivity. I am allergic to nichol from jewelry and he offered a Medtronic device but I don't want to mask the pain without an end result of not having the pain, not just dealing with it!!!!
