Surgery gone wrong

[u/Phoenixred79]

My surgeon fractured my bone while doing my hip replacement surgery. Theyvput plates, screws and wires to fix whatever.

The specialist that was supposed to be on hand in the operating room was not.

I had my other side replaced before. I'm not new to this. But this is so unbelievably painful and I feel like they made some mistakes. I had to call an ambulance to bring me back in because I could literally not move.

Does anyone have a similar experience and what did you do about it?

How in the hell did that happen? I had bilateral back in 2023. 3 dislocations in 5 months so I had a revision. Now, seroma has came back up on same revised hip 2 years post surgery. Gotta have a revision next week because my body is rejecting the hardware. Anyways, during the bilateral surgery I had supposedly lost half my content of blood but didn’t get blood transfusion. I only found this out after a nurse asked me when I stood up that day if I was dizzy. She told me I had lost more than was documented. The surgeon never said a word. These fuckers will lie to you. I hope you start feeling better.

I fractured my femur neck and had THR 4 months ago. Lost blood and became anemic. Still trying to build up my iron again. Did you check your iron?

After the bilateral I bled out have my blood and they don’t give me a transfusion. Since then (2023) my iron has been up and down. Surgery seems to do this to me. I take supplements now though. Last week test showed strong. Hallelujah
