As a hip replacement patient myself, I can understand the pain you are suffering. You might have a medical malpractice case if the hip was implanted improperly or you might have a product liability case if the hip design was faulty. I don't know if you are aware but some artificial hip implants have been recalled due to a faulty design and the manufacturer has issued a recall because of their high failure rate.
I would recommend that you speak with an attorney with expertise in hip implants. You might want to read some information on my website, www.hgfarber.com (and select the "DePuy Hip Recall button") or you could give me a call and I can help point you in the right direction. 1-800-244-9087.
Good luck to you.
