Reached Out To Surgeon Concerning The Grinding In My Hips
[ Thursday January 18th 2024 at 8:51 pm ]

The loud grinding noise and biting pain sensation I am experiencing with my artificial left hip joint hasn't stopped since this started on December 22nd. I am becoming increasingly concerned. The pain this creates and the energy the pain consumes leaves me without the ability to make meaningful progress on my goals. My life isn't tenable. This isn't a case of me giving up. I have continued to earnestly try. The elephant in the room is my damn artificial hip. It won't leave me alone. But the artificial hip is unreliable. I am unable to predict when it is going to happen. There is a pattern of the pain after the fact. But there is no warning it is going to malfunction. I haven't cracked the caused and effect sequence yet. But the effect this has on my body now means my life is coming to a screeching halt. I want to keep working on my goals. But this is no longer possible. I am now caught in a cycle of recovering. I have just reached out to the surgeon who replaced my hips. I need help. I have undergone 5 years of physiotherapy since 2006. The constant barrage of the health care community and friends asking me how the treatment is going and how I'm doing caused me to have become exceptionally self aware. This situation is reaching the threshold where I need outside help resolving it.
