Looks like I'm going to have to go under the knife(again).

Hope all works out for you!! I may have missed it, but what about a hip replacement??

A hip replacement ouldn't do much for what I'm getting. It wouldn't help the scar tissue and nerve problems. My hip itself isn't the problem as I can stan with a straight leg pretty well with no pain. My problem is when I have my weight on it and bend my hip I get shooting pain that is enough to make me scream, then my leg just goes out. As to the kids, it's rough knowing I won't be able to really do things with my boys as they grow up. I was told after this happened to not wait because when I turned 30 things would change, I was hard headed and didn't listen, so now I get to pay the price. On top of that my poor wife is beginning to lose it having to do triple duty, and goes back to work in just a few weeks. I'm hoping things turn around soon. I go to court on 9-16 for my disability. I paid into the system, but now that I'm almost wheelchair bound they ignore me. Been fighting it for over 2 years now, and I hope my oldests birthday is good luck for me.
