Hip Resurfacing (Birmingham ) Surgery- Vijay C Bose Part 3

And no, those injections don't work. They last maybe a week. I've had de-rotational osteotomy's, injections, live on painkiller's, pins, screws, plates, and debridements. But think this may be the way to go. Can anyone help me?

I have had 11 lots of surgery on my left hip since I was a baby, and now seein this, want them to preform this on me. I was born with congenital hip dysplacia, and nothing seems to work for. I'm seeing a surgeon in 3 weeks, so I might suggest this. Hopefully it won't hurt as much as a open hip debridement. That was BAD!!!!!

is it a disease? too pathetic patient!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am about to go in for my 6th hip surgery in about 2 to 3 weeks

Hi there. All done, what a difference this has made. Still little sore in the area where they opened me up but no more pain in the femur or pelvis. Fantastic.

Had my op on June 2nd 08. 7 weeks on and its fantastic. NO lower back pain, am able to sleep much better . The only pain i have is muscular from the op. Remember to keep doing your exercises and plenty of walking and swimming. Still cant put my sock on properly yet but hopefully that wont be too far away.
Anyone considering this op i fully recommend it. It will change your life.

My resurfacing was completed 5 weeks ago - and I'm glad that I didn't see this first! Having said that, it's changed my life. It's wonderful to be free of pain again.

Booked in for the 9th July to have surgery. There are 2 things that I am scared of and that is, 1, I have been in pain for 12 years now and have dont remember what it is like not to have pain and the speed that my left hip will move after surgery, I may not be able to keep up with myself..LMAO...

Awesome! I'm having this surgery done in 2 days and this really helped me to see exactly what they will be doing to me! These surgeons and the engineers who design these things are incredible! Thanks!

no the injections would make it worse because you'll get immune to the steroids slowly. The shots only worked for a month for me and then the pain came back. I scheduled a resurfacing surgery for myself and I'm getting it next week. Good luck and I will let you know the results of my surgery, can't wait, the waiting list has been long.

It is certainly not something you would do for fun, but your hip joint itself does not hurt anymore at all. The pain that you will have is from the operation itself and the trauma to the tissue around the hip. They keep you pretty stoned for the first few days and after that it feels better every day. Just remember to do your physio EVERY day and you will get better sooner!

hey how bad was the pain after? im 21 yrs old and my surgery is next week on tuesday, let me know asap

I have had them both done, this procedure has given me a new life, no pain in the joint at all, some serious physio to do after, but hey you can do it! Would not hesitate, go for it, you will be a new person!

I was contemplating resurfacing, I cannot help but feel nervous about this surgery but when I weigh up the pain that I have had for 12yrs and ongoing daily this is looking very likely. At present I recieve 4 injections into the hip per year but not yet getting much relief apart fom the 4 hours after the injection. Should I carry on getting injections or is it time for surgery?

Wow, Im a physio student due 2 go on my first orthapeadic placement soon! this video was excellent...if you can please post more!
