Subject: Re: Hip replacements and longevity
Hi Suz, Do you still attend the orthopaedic consultant that did the operation? If you are not due to see them it might be an idea to phone and ask for advice. I had a half hip replacement in February and I still get pain around the wound and numbness in my leg but my main concern is the difference in leg length. I have an insole but still feel I rock to the one side. I'm not sure how to make it last longer though, I think a lot of it might be luck, but perhaps avoiding things like badminton or anything that makes abnormal movements to the hip. I think you should get it checked out though, or even see a physio. xx
