in a rush

Yes here I am rushing to reading about Depuy Lawsuit which announced a recall of 93,000 hip replacement systems due to a large number of people experiencing pain and swelling so severe that a second hip replacement surgery became necessary. Why am I rushing since I only have a few minutes before we hit the road for some errands. Oh well that's what I don't like when I am cramming with such things and needs to finish errands. It's been a busy week for me as I have mentioned we had a visitor last week from the office so I had no time to research that a good friend of mine is asking. Well I hope the information I provided will be enough. For now got to go now since husband is now waiting. Have a good Sunday to all.

I’ve read many posts on this Johnson & Johnson hip replacement recall and I personally think it’s a very sad episode. A hip replacement failure can mean serious injuries for the patient, aside from the revision surgery that the patient will very likely face. Patients should attempt to be very watchful for certain signs that their hip replacement device is failing. For example, swelling of the hip area, popping or clicking, pain on a regular or chronic basis, loosening or implant dislocation, and even fractures are all fairly good signs that the device is about to fail or has failed. It’s good to know that a new registry is now set up to track problems with hip and knee implants across the United States in light of the recent 90,000 recall cases from Johnson&Johnson.
