What Causes Bacterial Infection In The Hips?
Had synvsc injections in Qct. 2017 then had hip replacement Dec. 2017. Hip got infected, bacterial Feb 2018? Doing at home anti-biotic drip until infection clears up, so we can replace temporary hip. Have been told no one has a clue as to how this happened. Will lose my job because of rehab time, am looking for clues!!!
