I have a hip replacement, revised 3x. The scar is attached to my pelvic bone. My hip replacements dislocated so many times that my gluteus medius was torn out completely, and when I sit, the ball of my hip prosthesis sits directly on a thin layer of scar tissue. Aside from never looking good in clothing, it is extremely painful! Does anyone have advice as to what I can do to improve my body and QOL? I understand that perfection isn't realistic.
