Severe Pain 9 Years After Hip Replacement Posted: 06-18-05 08:28am
My wife had hip replacement due to
arthritis 9 years ago. All was well for a
number of years. In the last 3 years she
developed severe knee pain that has now
moved all the way up her leg. She can
hardly walk. Her hip doctor took x-rays
and bone scans and says all is ok with her
hip. A knee doctor said the same about
her knee. We are at our wits end and her
quality of life is gone because she can
not walk anymore, something she loved more
than anything.
Any suggestions are welcome.
