Results of MRI

The MRI showed lots of fluid on the tendons around the artificial hip. The doctor told me that could mean either infection or metallosis (metal flakes coming off of the prosthesis.) He scheduled me for a hip aspiration, which is drawing fluid from the hip and analyzing it.

Believe it or not, it did not hurt. The fluid they drew out was bloody. Waiting to hear results on whether there is infection or not.
