I'm 35. Had 1 bhr 15 months ago, the other just 2.5 weeks ago. The 1st new hip, yesterday I started having definate friction/rubbing feeling from the hip. It almost has a sensation of 'vibration' thru the steps from that hip. Up until yesterday, I have had absolutely no issues with the hip. I had a follow up just a few days ago for the newest hip, and was advised all looked well. I've been on crutches because of the newest hip, and walked a couple days on 1 crutch, then a day or so with a cane when the 15 month old resurfaced hip started giving me this sensation of definate friction. No crackles, pops, or audible noises thus far, just for sure vibration/noteable friction. I am awaiting call back from my surgeon now. Should I be alarmed? I am a little concerned, and somewhate reluctant to walk on it until I hear back from the doc.
