Are you allergic to your hip replacement?
Просмотров 14614 дней назад
You might not know it, but some people are allergic to their joint replacements. The implants are made of alloys like stainless steel, chromium cobalt (CoCr) and titanium. Stainless steel and CoCr contain nickel which for most people isn't a concern. But...some people are sensitive to these metals, and in rare cases they can cause an allergic reaction.

    I had my total hip replacement 14 weeks ago and although I've not had a dislocation Ive had it move out of the socket and pop back in about 9 times. Just yesterday it popped again when I went to tie my show lace and today at the gym on the seated calf raise machine it also popped. When it happens Its really distressing because If its moving out of place this easily then it might not be far from dislocation.The first few times it happened I put it down to the muscles not being properly healed but Its now becoming a concern that my mobility will be really restricted. I am a martial arts instructor and was very flexible before the operation. Each time it pops out and in the front of my hip is sore for days.

    Update: 4 days after my sudden dislocation, my surgeon went over my scans and x-rays. I was told it looked fine and to go on doing my thing. It dislocated again while I was home alone. I fell to the floor immediately. I had to call out to my phone, to call my family/ambulace. I ended up having a hip revision a week later, this May. My first hip surgery was only in March! My surgeons partner found the problem. The angle of the ball and joint was incorrect for my body. Now I’m healing all over again and it’s much worse this time, I pray to turn a corner soon. I want to have my life back and forget this ever happened, though I know I’ll never forget, it was too traumatic and will take a long time to heal physically and emotionally. I found out that the first dislocation caused me a compression fracture in my spine as well, when I landed on the concrete the first time. That pain is the worst right now. I heard it’ll take months to heal. I cry a lot these days.

    Hi, If you don’t mind, I’d like to share my story? I’m a 58 yr old mom, wife and Granddma. On March 13th, I had a hip replacement due to osteoarthritis. Everything went well and according to plan. 7 wks into recovery, my hip dislocated out of the Blue as I was standing. Hit the cement, hard falling backward, fracturing my spine. It was beyond a pain and trauma I’d ever known. It took over 6 attempts to re-set my hip. I begged to be knocked out and finally was. My surgeon was shocked when this hospital called him. He requested all scans and x-rays. After looking them over, he was finding no reason for it to have happened? He was sorry and told me to continue on with my PT as I was! 4 days later, it dislocated again as I stood in our bedroom, standing up folding a blanket. I was ALONE this time! I screamed to my phone as my adult kids showed me ‘just incase I ever needed to?!’ Hey SIRI, call so and so!!!! Thank God it worked! My husband, kids and the Ambulance all showed up together. Again, off i go the hospital screaming in agony wanting to die, they knocked me out and set the hip a second time. This time, my surgeon who’d been called again, had me brought to his hospital directly. His partner found what he himself had missed. The new hip ball and socket were at the wrong angle ( for my particular stance). He was devastated and clearly very upset for all I’d gone through. Now, I lay in a hospital bed 4 days, not allowed to really move as he told me it will come out again, and then, I had a revision surgery by him. He used a different size ball/socket at a slightly different angle, in another location, ‘anterior lateral’, and 22 staples vs the 12 sutures from the first surgery in March.This took place May 21st, so I was not even healed yet from the first surgery and had all of this happen one after the other. Today, July 2nd, I’m just now able to walk on a cane ( briefly in my home). I’m in awful pain from surgery AND the spinal compression fracture as well, which will heal over months. On top of it, I have extreme PTSD that is ruining my life. I cry a lot. I’m very depressed because I can’t do anything more than some PT and scoot around my house. I’m exhausted. I can’t sleep because my back hurts and I can’t sleep in any other position yet. I’m a complete mess. I try to be strong and some days I am, other days I just want to give up entirely. I can’t bathe myself. My husband was out of work for one month with no pay because I needed that much care. We have a company coming to change out our bathtub/shower combination, to a walk in shower. I’m scared every time I move. I can’t get it out of my head the ‘what if it happens again?’ I can’t live in fear like this. My surgeon and PT said it’ll be a long road. I won’t turn a corner at least until the end of July? Revisions take longer to heal. Considering it all began in March, it feels forever away. I don’t want to whine about it but I’ve never felt THIS low in my entire life. My quality of life feels non-existent. Do you have anymore words of advice or anything that may pull me out of this dark place I’m stuck in???? I’d really appreciate it🙏 Thank you!!!

    I’m not on Facebook, but I listen to an Australian podcast called Joint Action. It’s run by David Hunter and he invites various experts around the world to share their knowledge and help people. One thing that’s happening in Australia which I wished would happen here is, after diagnosis (hips and knees) people are automatically referred to a pain management programme, but a new thing they are trialling is physiotherapy classes. A physiotherapist will run a class of exercises for about 10 people with oa and the patients love it. 1) they know they’re doing the exercises properly because the physio can correct them if they aren’t. 2) They tend to do more exercise because they are encouraged by the group. 3) They really enjoy it because it becomes part of their social life. 4). The need for surgery is postponed for up to 2 years and in the case of some knee problems, surgery is no longer needed. As someone who spent her life exercising in groups and gradually had to give up all of them, I would have loved to have had something like this to go to. Most GP surgeries are employing physios now, it just needs someone in a position of influence to get it rolling. 😉😉I’m sure it wouldn’t cost much to get rolling and the benefits financially and to patients would be enormous. I would be interested to know what you think as a surgeon. Thanks for giving up your time to doing social media. This is the link to Apple podcasts but it’s on other platforms. It’s called Joint Action. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/joint-action/id1508969582

I was told by the surgeon I must "walk, walk, walk", which I am trying to do, but some days it's just too painful. Should I keep persevering through the pain, or rest more? I am also having physio, which just consists of strapping my leg to a device which moves the leg backwards and forwards by bending the knee - any thoughts on that? TIA

Surrender to it, take plenty of rest and don't push yourself until you feel ready. You have described a Passive Motion machine. Knee surgeons use them. I have never used one after hip replacement surgery. A specialist hip physio will use a variety of techniques focusing on active movements, core stability and balance. Hope this helps.

    I’m heading into summer with my surgery. I was thinking more practically about dressing etc. living alone, I don’t have to worry about getting socks and tights on. I invested in loose, throw over the head dresses. By the time the chilly days are back, I should be well into my recovery. ❤️‍🩹

    I am 12 weeks from surgery and I stop limp after 2 months ago. I learned the heel-to-toe walk. It’s is very simple: imagine you are a juggler and you walk in a tightrope but on the floor. Do without the crutches and if you need do beside a wall so you can relying on it for balance. Put your feet in front of the other, heel first and then the toes. Try to keep your balance and do not walk fast. Walk slowly but surely, paying attention in what you doing. Do indoors first until you are confident enough to walk outside. Will be painful in the beginning but this means you are doing it right. If you keep trying the pain will go alway without you even noticing. Good luck!

    • @Lathamhipsurgery
      @Lathamhipsurgery Месяц назад

      Good question. It depends where the shortening is. You would need to have a very careful assessment and preoperative plan. Lengthening of up to 5cm is generally safe. The risk of excessive lengthening is that it stretches the nerves.

    I was almost completely bedridden for 6 months after a two year wait. The psychological damage was as bad as the deterioration in all my muscles... 8 months post surgery I'm still struggling. Mostly because I don't have any support and keep trying to do things above my capability. Like everything, it's harder to heal when you're 66

    Thanks I had a hip fracture March 28th. Although I feel better the recovery is hard. I have so much scar tissue on my side where the incision is. I think I walked too much this weekend and I drove too far. Now my knee will hardly move. I’ve been in bed most of the day yesterday and will be in bed today. It’s rough

    • @Lathamhipsurgery
      @Lathamhipsurgery Месяц назад

      Thanks for sharing your experience. It takes longer to recover from a fracture in my experience because of the psychological impact. Rest is such an important part of rehabilitation so get as much as you are able. Bio oil is good for the scar.

    I had anterior THR 2 months ago. 6 weeks post op, I started developing a rash around the incision that spread throughout my entire body in the course of 2 days. I needed to be on high dose steroids for a week and I still have itchiness and rash on parts of my body. Also, the incision has pinhead sized openings on either end that will not fully close. Could I be having a reaction to the dissolvable sutures or to any of the components? the pain and discomfort of the skin is hampering the recovery process and I have no energy. Lab work was normal. I have an appointment with an allergist in 2 weeks.

    I have had Scoliosis of the Spine L3 /4 and 4/5 for about ten years, I was able to walk, and push my ZHusband in a Wheelchair almost up until i had my right hip replaced 15 months ago! I think my Hip is going on all right, but have to use two Crutches as I can't walk without them, and my back is so painful I can't do everyday things! Even with taking Tapentadol, and Dicclofenac, have been on a waiting list to see a Specialist in Exeter for over a year! Can't stand it much longer!

    • @Lathamhipsurgery
      @Lathamhipsurgery Месяц назад

      Sorry to hear about your back. In my experience it can take a year to 18 months for things to settle down. Pre existing back issues can be aggravated by hip surgery so it’s a good idea to get an opinion from a back specialist.

    At age 72 I had total hip replacement with posterior procedure due to my fat belly. Went in the OR at 0700, walked with a walker at 1100 without THAT pain I had for a year and sent home at 1230. Recovered quickly with little pain. I credit my surgery department and myself with my healing by following their exercises weeks before and after the surgery.

    Hello, I had Posterior THA 3 months ago. I still experience swelling right at the waistline, limping and nerve pain. When I visited my surgeon he took x-rays and said the implant was good. He said he can order an MRI to see if there is any soft tissue damage but that in his opinion he fixed the hip but created another problem and that I should prepare to go on permanent disability because I will never work as a steel worker again. This did not sound right do I need a second opinion.
