I had a hip surgey when i was a child. My parents did not realize that they did the surgey on the wrong side?

Sounds like you might have the right to sue for malpractice.

you *can* sue anyone you want.  that said, i fail to see what outcome would have changed if it had been detected earlier....\n\n1. no harm came to your son. - no harm, no value can be assigned\n2. he would have simply needed surgery "sooner" - identical outcome\n3. it is not your *right* to have your son be an athelete. - no civil rights were violated.

I would have a second and third opinion also.  I had a total hip 5 years ago (I'm not much older than you) and before I had it, I had titanium screws that came loose.  Who knows why?  But I do know that there are newer prothesises that don't require that long lateral cut now; almost like mini-replacements.  So I would see a doc that is up to date on new and better hardware.  It also sounds like you might have had some necrosis in the bone with the so called "plug".  Discuss that with your new orthopedic.  Hey, if the doc gets upset, that's his problem.  These things are suppose to last 25-35 years!  I don't think you did anything to cause the problem.  Just get all of the information you can beforehand.  That's what I would do.  Godloveya.

I was out for breakfast with my parents and then I was in hospital for a few hours, because I broke me a toe...

Only if the surgery wasn't done exactly right. It HAS been known to happen.

Ask your surgeon...or a RN at the facility where the surgery was done. \n\nThey should have given you a list of 'to-do's' and 'not-to-do's' on your discharge papers.  Have you looked at them.  This is standard policy to provide you with this...any way if you lost those papers, phone them Monday and ask them...they'll be happy to tell you.  Each person is different and they know your history...and know exactly what you had done...so their advice would be the best. This is one time you DON'T want advice from friends, or on a board like this.

Your parents did it to you.\n\n(That's true in my case anyway)

Haha! You're weird. No, seriously... have a trainer look at it and recommend exercises for that side of your back. Are you in a profession where you "favor" one side over the other? (Digging, for example.) That might explain it. Or you could get to a doctor for an evaluation just to ensure that both sides of your body are in synch. I'm thinking of scoliosis, but that's just a guess.

If you ned help or support in any way, my messenger is hbkfreak17\n\nBest wishes and good luck,\n\nKassie

I have never heard of this happening. I had one with my first child, they stitched it up and it healed, I never had problems with it after that. She might want to go to a different doc cause it seems like something wasn't done right.

Your mom would want you to just tell her exactly what you typed here.  You should talk to your doctor about this if it is bothering you, there may be alternatives.  Your mother has seen and done so much when it comes to something like this...surely don't be embarrassed.

you just answered one of my questions and decided to check out some of the questions you posted, which iam now glad i did. when i was 17 , me and my twin were diognosed with scoliosis( curvature of the spin) we both needed to have the harringtons rods put in to staighten our spines. which were placed on either side of our spine about a foot long apeice. it was a tramatic sergury but i thank god everyday i had it. no more pain, i can do anything no limitations except for now i sit up real staight ...ha ha.., and yes if i hadnt had the surgery i wouldnt be here today. the  curve was starting to push against my heart and liver and if that happened i wouild have died. so i thank god everyday for doctors.

It takes a lot of cojones, I'll give you that.  It takes your parents having some form of trust in you (and your argument for the boy to them will call on that) and you having warranted that trust, or be able to show them that you should be trusted.  Present your case to them (preferably after they've been medicated JK) after you have written the whole thing down.  It sounds dumb but it gives you a chance to organise your thoughts and put them in an order that is condusive to a winning argument.  However, all this may be for naught.  Your parents may be unwilling to see anything other than their five year old daughter getting plowed by some big, hairy, sweaty, nasty, trogolodite.  It's not their fault that you haven't grown up in their minds.    I must say that I don't envy your position.  But keep your head and you'll be surprised at what can happen.\n\nHappy Trails

I don't have this problem myself, but my mom does.  You should go to that clinic, there is meds you can take for this.  I doubt that you need surgery.  Do you have kids?  After having babies i know this can happen to some women.  Good luck-hope this helps!

I don't really remember it, but my mom told the story to me (and my girlfriend, who delights in re-telling it to everyone)...\n\nWhen I was 5, my dad was in the military hospital for hernia surgery, and my mom and I came to visit him.  We had to stop at the floor desk, and sign in before continuing in to see my dad in his room.  While we were waiting to sign in, another patient was being "walked" down the hallway by a nurse.  This patient had both legs amputated above the knee, and was learning to walk on his stumps to toughen the tissue so he could eventually wear prosthetics.  The nurses had folded the pant legs of his pajamas and pinned them up.  During his "walk", the pant legs had come loose and were trailing behind him.\n\nNOW THAT I'M OLDER (and hopefully wiser), I FEEL VERY BADLY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT, SO PLEASE DON'T CALL ME A MONSTER!\n\nWhile my mother signed us in, I ran over, jumped onto the trailing pant legs and shouted "free ride".  The poor man walked out of his pajamas, and was now nude from the waist down.  Everyone was horrified, except for the patient, who was laughing so hard he could hardly breathe.  He told my mom not to punish me, as this the first time he had laughed since losing his legs.\n\nThere.  You happy now?
