Sep 24, 2023
I saw your video at my daughters home in Orondo, Washington as I live in Deer Park, Wash. My orthopaedic Dr. Says there aren’t any other options for hip joint replacements except metal w porcelin (metal lined) socket . I am 73, just over triple neg. Ductal invasive breast cancer one year ago this November. I am not able to walk well at all with a walker,so have been issued a wheel chair. Both my hip sockets are bone to bone my right one being worst. Am allergic to all metals. The pain is so excrutiating 24 /7 . I don’t take pain pills due to moderate to severe sleep apnea. I have a St. Judes artificial aortic heart valve , on coumadin and now have 1% bradycardia caused by a previous Dr. Giving me lisinipril unnecessarily for years. I changed doctors and love my new pcp. I am being financially helped with letters of financial help due to only getting social security and no retirement for both me & my hubby. Do you associate w like Dr.s in wash i could qualify to go to?
