I had my eight hip replaced in 2001 and since April 2014 I have had four dislocates that pop right back into joint within thirty seco ds. This usually happens after I go for a walk and my hip is in a relaxed state. The hamstring area is tender as well as the lower buttock. I am not doing anything real strenuous especially considering what I have done for the first twelve years. I am seeing a surgeon next week. X rays show components in tact. So why is this dislocating?
Hi Cam
That is dreeadful.......it puts my problems into perspective.
Nothing I can say to help....I'm sorry but please let us know what the surgeon says next week
Love

Hi Cam, Sounds like your hip has come to the end of it's life. I know they only last around 15 years but that is a broad figure.It is good that you will be seeing your surgeon. Best of luck.
Thano you for your response. It may not be so terrible if I wasnt battling cancer in the bladder for two years after having a kidney removed for stage four cancer. Thanx for your support
Yeah thanks sue. I expect a new hip by spring.
I never have heard some one having 8 hip replacements.
Your probably having another joint ware out with loose muscles too.
I hope you will recover from this with out additional surgeries.
Thx ginger. I hope to be well again by next summer. I hope.
I think she meant 'right' :-)
