My left hip was replaced around 2009 or 2010, after I had complained for nearly 20 years of the pain. After recovery the surgeon ask me if I was ready to have the right one done yet. It felt like a perfectly good hip at the time so I declined. Since then the prosthesis gives me occasional trouble and pain while walking. A couple of consults with the surgeon always resulted in is saying there is no sign of loosening or infection you shouldn't be having any pain.
Great doctor.
Since you say so I must be cured, eh?
Lately the right hip has begun to hurt when walking. Yesterday, about halfway up the mountain it started bothering me. The hike back down was brutal, requiring several stops to give some relief.
Today, I can barely walk.
