The wife had her right hip replaced June 2023 she is now in pain and struggling to travel any distance in the car, it may be down to internal scarring, she has tried varies pillows, she now sit on the right hand to help relive the pain.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally say the wrong thing.

Sorry to that mate – can the consultant or GP offer any advice?
Would it help if she sat in the back, with a soft pillow under the new hip side and a pillow for her to rest her head on the door?
As somone who was in a somewhat similar situation, MB accomodated us by allowing us to cancel early, we had a similar issue in the Ateca after 2 years of lease.
Other than that, good luck. :/

Next: we'll see what's available in 2028.The Mobility lease is in my name, the wife has suffered lower back pain plus a broken ankle repaired with plates and pins, as regards the GP they are less than useless, you can only book online, it takes 5 to 6 weeks to see a GP, when you finally get an appointment is is either a locus or a paramedic to add insult to injury despite having 8 GP registered on site the surgery is always virtually empty.

I waited 3 years(!!) on a dermatology appointment, to get basically fobbed off after 10 minutes.
I don’t have much good to say about the medical system currently, so.. i feel ya.

Next: we'll see what's available in 2028.I’m sure motability would take in to account your wifes condition if that was needed however, it could be your jumping out of frying pan into the fire without further advice –
Zero gravity and fluid chair seat and wheel chair cushions maybe worth a try, as theyre proper medical cushions and mot cheap. Remember my dad having them when his cancer first moved into his hips and these cushions were changed/adjusted to the level of pain and always had one with in when he traveled in the car and he found them, shall I say comfortable in a more pleaant bareable situation, that allowed him to do hings and he carried on with life right up to the end.
I can’t fully remember, but I think my mum refered to community OH, who provided these cushions and much more. I can ask mum if you want, as the system will be the same for Staffordshire, as they were only up the road in Newastle.
Mum would also insist on going private for initial consultant consuiltaions and jumped back on the NHS for tests and scans which were allways within a fortnight and if treatment was required, it was far quicker than waiting on a long list, for dads other issues.
This actually might be a good idea for a couple hundred quid if only to get a different opinion and a few tests much quicker than normal!
Kezo I am going to enquire into the zero gravity and fluid seat and wheel chair cushions, thanks for putting me in the right direction..
