Please...Not another surgery!!!!

[ciggy]

Everyone know's I'm fighting a muscle and bone desease and been in and out of doctor offices, labs, and hospitals constantly for over three years now. I'm surprised I don't glow and piss radiation!!! Just when I thought I might get a break I find out I may have to go in again. Both hips had to be replaced due to Avascular necrosis within the last year and a half. Well my right has been doing fine but my left not so well. I am in alot of pain still so I went and seen the doc today. They took X-rays and said that my DJD with the loss of bone mass is what's causing the pain. So there first gonna try this Electical wave therapy thingy to try and stimulate bone growth or there gonna have to operate again and replace the cup. Yea I know it could be worse..I really do..and I'm very greatfull for the life lord has givin me...but man that really bummed me out and I just really need a break!!!

ciggy, I hope that you don't have to go through another operation. Sorry to hear that you're having additional problems since the hip replacement. I will keep you in my thoughts, brother!

That's rough man - I hope the wave therapy works. As a side note I'll say you seem to be handling all of this like a champ and if I was in the same situation I don't know that I would. I'll keep you in my thoughts - hope things get better for you.

Well to be honest, I have about 6 pills I have to take every night and one of them is for depression (Cymbolta)...so as much as I hate to say it the drug really helps for the most part. Sometimes it can be rough. I had to give up alot of things I enjoyed doing and I'm still young so thats alot to except..So BOTL has been a good outlet, is fun, and kinda takes me away from the rest of the crap....So thanks everyone!!
