Hip revision

Posted by ldduck1968 @ldduck1968, Mar 4 7:09am

Hello everyone. I am feeling some serious anxiety and depression today. I may have posted about this already so sorry if I did. My 2 year old hip is giving me some issues. Mainly groin discomfort. I had an MRI done. Doctor called me and told me there is some fluid and loosening of stem and cup. I will have an aspiration done on hip to see if there is an infection. My best case scenario is total hip revision. I am really worried about this. Has anyone here ever have a total hip revision? What was it like afterwards? I see that they break bone and then use a wire to put it back together again. I am so tired of surgeries and hip pain. I just recently did other hip as well 3 months ago and that one bothers a little at the groin area. I am really bummed out and worried about the process the outcome etc. I knownit isn't a death sentence but just spoke with doc 10 minutes ago on phone. I really feel like crap. I apologize for long text and sounding like a wimp.

Just curious, why 4 hip revision if no problem? My wife had to have revisions on both hips because of Cobalt / chromium poisoning and staph infection
