i have had 2x surgeries on one side. My dr used a method which incorporates external wire around the hippster I believe this is a technique from England

i have chronic bursitis and have done all the standard treatments

 the dr has offered to remove these wires as some patience experience relieve

I hope someone can shed some more info or experience with me.  I really would appreciate u comments 

thank you in advance

Hi Hippster, 

warm welcome to this wonderful forum of hippies -

I am sorry but don't really understand your question ...

Did you have 2 hip surgeries and instead of a replacement, the surgeon wired

it ? I don't know what that means ... was it to relieve the bursitis and is your joint still good ?  

or did you have a Total Hip Replacement and why did he wired it?

do you mind sharing a little bit more?

big warm hug

renee

Sorry I was so unclear. I had two total Hip replacemetns 11 years apart. My hip was starting to come out nad dislocated twice before i redid the surgery. Both surguries used the wire around the hip Its a method that was taught in England where my dr trained. 

I do think that this wire is in my " way" and am afraid I will have to go back to the surgeon to remove it. I understand that there is no guarantee of course that this will help. Some people have been relieved of this pain. 

I would love to hear from someone who also had this issue

Thanks R for your input

redface more confused now .... handstrung responded but Hippster started the discussion ...

I just had 2 straight forward THR surgeries within 6 months - there is no wiring but do have trochanteris bursitis in right hip ....

Have you seen your surgeon if this could be the cause of your bursitis -

that is tough though ---

big warm hug
