Hi Joan,

I had a reconstruction done of the hip in 1987. I did ok for a while, but one morning I got up in 1998 and could't walk. I went to my doc and thats when he said I needed the hip replacement. I had an arthritic cyst on the hip socket. I had my operation at Baystate Medical in Springfield. When they got in there, the postier eall had been eaten away by arthritis. when they put in the metal walls to replace the bone, my sciatic nerve got damaged in 3 places. I've gone down hill since then, Thats how I got the RSD. I hope your doing well.
