Walking steadiness is still declining
It’s frustrating. I’m scheduled to see my third orthopedic doctor next week. The surgery only brought me more pain. The second doctor told me to deal with it so I’m hoping this new guy will help.

I had hip surgery
I had hip surgery. It was one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever been through. The steroids I’ve had to take for my asthma/COPD caused me to have osteonecrosis of the hips. Basically, they killed my bone in the hip and femoral head and my bone died. I had a hip core decompression with a bone graph. They drilled into my hip bone and femoral head and removed the dead bone inside. I can’t walk or put any weight on my right hip for 4-6 weeks, so I have another 3 weeks left before my next doctor’s appointment. I’m not sure if I have to learn to walk again…
