I have so much on my mind and not sure where to start. I guess I'll start from the very beginning. When I was 23 (I'm now 27) I was told I would need my right hip replaced because I wore all of the cartilage out in the hip and was walking bone on bone. The doctors could not tell me why this had happened because there was no injury and my blood work came back negative for RA. 2 years were spent going to different doctors to try and figure out what is going on with my body and 2 years of no answers. The main answer I would get was that I was to young to be having this problem and that I was only looking for pain meds. When I was 25 I could no longer take the pain of the bone on bone grinding and told the surgeon to replace it. I am a Apartment Manager so my job is very physical. While x-raying the hip before surgery he came back in and said well I'm sorry but the left hip will need to be replaced as well. It was a shock and alot to take in at 25yrs old. The left hip still had some life left in it so I decided to just take care of the right one. The surgeon suggested that he wanted to do a new style of hip replacements called Hip Resurfacing. It was designed for younger people and they would not have to cut the head of the femur off and put a rod in place of it. They would just grind off all of the bad parts on the head of the femur and put a ball shaped cap over it, put a new socket in my pelvis and thats it. It would save bone for future hip replacements. A normal hip replacement only last 10-15yrs before its worn out. So on 2/20/09 I had it done. I was very scared before the surgery because it was major surgery and not knowing what to expect. Everything went well, 2 blood transfusions and I was home from the hospital in 5 days. When I started my PT I started to feel a "click" in the new hip. I was told it was normal and it was just things inside my hip starting to streach and get use to the new joint and it would go away. 6 months after I went to my surgeon for a follow up and told him that the click has not gone away and the hip still hurts about as much before I had it replaced. He didnt say much and I get the "Well your young" deal. I went back after a year of having the hip in me and talked to the surgeon again. I told him that the hip is still clicking and now its squeaking and I can feel it grinding. He x-rayed it and said well everything looks great inside and I dont see anything wrong with it. I told him I was in a large amount of pain and yet again I get the "Well your young" deal. During this time I wore the left hip out to the point it was bone on bone. In early Feb of this year I went back to the surgeon to have the left hip replaced. I told him that I was still having alot of problems with the right hip. He starts to tell me that there has been a recall on these style hips, all the symptoms I have been telling him over the past 2 years were signs of it failing. He said they have to do a revision surgery on the right hip...meaning take out all of the parts they put in me and this time do a total hip replacement. He also went on to say that revision surgerys are never good...meaning that even thought they are replacing it again with new parts, the pain im in now with that hip will not go away. They wanted to replace the left hip first before they did the revision on the right one so on 3/2/11 I had a total hip replacement done on the left hip. While in the hospital and doing my PT the left hip started to click...Im like you have to be kidding me. I know its to soon to be thinking that this one is going to fail because I am not even 2 weeks out of surgery but its following the same path as the right one did. I was told again that its normal and will go away. I dont even know what to think if this one fails in 2 years. I can only have so many hip replacements before they cant do them anymore because there is no more bone to work with. The doctors talk to me like im almost making it up and not to worry. Well thats what they said last time! I'm 27 and in 4-6 weeks I will be having the right hip replaced again.... It truly does feel like I am having years of my life taken away from me. I would think the doctors would show some more sympothy because of my age but not really. People keep saying to stay positive but its hard to be and its even harder when I can feel the brand new hip starting to click and having the feeling that its going to follow the same path as the right one. I just dont know.... I'm sorry this was alittle long but I just needed to vent some of it out...
