12 Yrs After Total Hip Replacement I'm In Pain Posted: 07-24-07 15:24pm
The past few weeks i've been having that
sharp pain run thru the hip and it feels
like it locks in place. is this telling
me I'm ready for another? It was a
titanium in 1995. I constantly am walking
with a limp. Is there anything I can take
for pain? I'm 49 yrs old.

Oh, dear. Sorry to hear about your pain.
You might want to see your orthopedist
and request necessary diagnostics (X-ray,
MRI?). It seems as though your instincts
tell you something is off, and you might
want to check it out.
Where exactly are you experiencing pain?

It's telling you to go see your
speciallist.... even after 12 years it
shouldnt be behaving like this.... you
havent dislocated it at all have you? or
fallen? may have broken something
inside... needs an xray to check...
