What can I say, but that I agree to all you said, I've had total hip replacement, yes, the docters are happy to see that the implant went well as was my case, we've installed it we tested it we took x-rays what came afterwards which was pretty bad in my case, they were indifferent couldn't leave the hospital fast enough for them. You are right we must be our own advocates ,we must do our own research , and when we feel something isn't going well, speak up, something I didn't do.View Thread
