HAS ANYONE HAD A HIP REPLACEMENT? IF SO ARE YOU HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH YOUR IMPLANT/ S?
I had both hips replaced two years ago. i am experiencing a loosening in my left hip. I recently found out that I have an implant made by Zimmerr, Inc. They have been under federal investigation for a bad design and unsanitary manufacturing conditons in their Ireland facility. also for kickbacks with Surgeons.
If anyone here has experience in the hip replacement parts. please post your experiences here. I am curious to know what your going through and what is being done for you?Thank you!

I had a total hip replacement in 2003. I just had a recheck and there aren't any problems or issues. My doctor/surgeon said that there are no signs of wear and tear and it looks good. I will go back again in two years for another recheck unless I have any problems or concerns. I have permanent restrictions of no running or jumping (high impact). Due to my age at the time of my surgery (34) no screws or adhesive were used to secure the implant.
Check with your doctor. You should have an x-ray done of both hips, also, take in to consideration your age, health, how active you are and whether or not you've been doing any high impact exercise.
Doctors....would love for you to do a show on total hip replacements...on patients of various ages...
I just got a letter from my Dr. telling me that my artificial hips were re-called. If you have a Depuy hip made by Johnson and Johnson, call your DR. I will probably need both done again. BIG SURPRISE. Thats for sure. AAAGGGGG
