I'm 35 yrs ols and had a RT THR on Sept 16, 2003.I understand what your feeling. After surgery I have felt 100% worse than before surgery. I have constant pain in my groin,numbness in the rt leg by the incision,sharp pain in my buttucks,constant swellen in my incision that I'm unable to put on pants.I also cannot walk without a can now due to my right leg 1/2 in shorter than the left.I'm unable to drive, get in & out of a car. I have seen specialist's and have been told I need a revision after 6 months of recovery time.. I feel as if I was butchered by this doctor! My whole life has changed since having a surgery that I was told I needed to have..
