Both Of My Artificial Hip Sublexed (Partially Dislocated) At Once
[ Thursday March 23rd 2023 at 6:10 pm ]
My body has reached a new low. Both of my artificial hips have subluxed at the same time. I can't believe this is happening. This isn't to mention all the pain of when my quad muscles are "sucker punched" by the artificial hip. For better or worse I have got use to popping my left artificial hip back into the socket. I was able to get both in. This is really hard. The pain from this is horrid. However the surgeon was correct when I asked him about the possibility of my artificial hips coming out of their sockets. The surge in pain makes it very obvious.
I have to contact the surgeons office again. I was hoping my right artificial hip would heal and the joint tighten up. The artificial hip isn't purposeful to me if it won't stay in the socket. This is really concerning. The pain is as big of a challenge as the mobility issues this creates. This really puts a monkey wrench into the recovery of my left artificial hip being replaced on April 2nd.
I am afraid this means everything I wanted to do in 2025 is cancelled or at a minimum scaled back. I can barely take the pain. I do have a pain management appointment on March 31st. I trust my pain management doctor. I am sure he will try to help me through this. He has been very kind to me and always stood by me when I have come to him for help.
