It feels like this last hip (replaced 2021) has caused nothing but issues, while the hip itself is fine, the long leg its created has given me problems ever since.

I don’t want to be negative, its just a fact. I don’t regret doing it however as this pain is better managed than pre op pain, but rest assured there is pain everyday in my back, and my older hip does struggle. Which you know then caused a falling incident which I sprained my ankle, I’m around 15weeks since I did that, and I keep pulling my knee, all of this is in the Right leg (older hip, replaced in 2019).

While I still have some issues, I am immensely grateful for the mobility I have, and I don’t take it for granted. I’ve learnt to mask pain, so I can have good days out, and pay the bitter price afterwards, I’m sure you all know that yourselves too.
