Interesting. VA gave me a cordasone shot in left hip last week. Said that eventually I will need a new hip. They also gave me a shot in left toe for gout. The most painful shot I ever had.

Input is appreciated. Story mentions that the specific hip implant was supposed to last for multiple decades, but failed after just one. Let's hope that you don't see others in a few years from now.

LTC Eugene Chu I've had 3 knee replacements... left in 2007 & again in 2010... the lower part broke loose. Right, one replaced in 2017... both doing good today.
