Help! I had my left hip replaced 9 months and ended up with foot drop. I just started back to work, on my second week and the pain is almost unbearable. I called the Dr. Who said he expected it. Any ideas?

UPDATE: ok, so I saw my eye Dr., Who blew me off because " not my specialty". I just wanted reassurance I wasn't going to lose my 🦶! So the next day I went to my pain management Dr. She was really nice, she checked it, she said the blood flow was good. But someone suggested going to the AFO Dr., I totally forgot about that option, I have the first appointment I could get, next Thursday. I pray it helps. Thanks everyone 🙏

I would sue the doctor. Also you might be able to get workers compensation. Talk to a lawyer. If you live in SC.

Did you get an AFO? ( ankle foot orthotics)

well that's not nice at all me I just too many Falls and the hamstring issue and had calcification on my left leg 65 not feeling very good and happy these days unfortunately I used to have a little chocolate business I used to garage sales and scrapping and I can't even go visit people

what does the leg calcification feel like? I noticed I couldn't even get comfortable on my leg trying to sleep yesterday. This sucks getting old:(

yes I'm a with you on the getting old part it does suck I used to do so much even have my own little chocolate business the calcification is on my sit bone on my left butt cheek of all places in the beginning it was really bad I couldn't go up and down stairs but I had other issues which put me to my bed for like 2 months that was the biggest mistake so I'm hoping today maybe my doctor will give me a shot of cortisone but I got other issues too I'm tired of getting old I got a few friends that are in the hospital or sick and exhausting

I know what you mean, seems like people are dropping all around me all of a sudden. I have several issues as well, I asked my Dr. What it takes for permanent disability and he said " if you can sit in a chair, you can work". But it does hurt to sit in a chair!

if you can sit in a chair you can work well I can't sit in a chair I sit in my bed almost all day and I can only walk for a half an hour to an hour now and you know what the worst is I have a family full of backstabbers drama queens no love or respect from my family whatsoever my mom and dad are gone I lost my cat of 22 years and not just have a couple friends who are either in the hospital or not well

and sadly, I have a backstabbing family too, not all of them, just ones that got me into debt lol I'm just so ready to retire.

I hear that I just prefer not to have any more to do with my family it's been wrong since the beginning my mom and dad God bless them they couldn't raise one child so they make more

it isn't work related, I mean it is, years of abuse working, but not directly related. I think I do need to see a lawyer though.

Maybe a chiropractor might help

you should if it was a problem with the surgery. There is a statute of limitations for many things so speak to one soon

I had a BAD foot surgery...even my doc partner doc said he wondered why my doc didn't do a complete bunionectomy....my foot has caused me to be disabled in many ways and I can only stand for short periods. Wish I had sought legal help.
