CBS News investigation details reports of broken hip implants

Interesting. VA gave me a cordasone shot in left hip last week. Said that eventually I will need a new hip. They also gave me a shot in left toe for gout. The most painful shot I ever had.

Thanks for the share, I work in Ortho and haven't many of ours come back.

I'm nursing both of my knees hoping I last long enough not to need replacements. The only reason I don't feel a lot of pain is because of surgery cutting nerves in the lower back but still feel the pain above the incision, impingement on the nerve root of the spine in 2 places, nerves in the legs that no longer work and the final straw is the stroke to the thalamus that interferes with pain signals. Don't get me wrong I still hurt but its probably less then if everything was functioning properly.
