My partner has been in hospital for 2 weeks.at first it was a suspected fracture as he had lot of pain and struggled to walk .had numerous x rays blood tests ct scans mri joint aspiration of the hip and a bone biopsy.the result of the joint fluid they said was staph aureus.hes Been told that the femur head is dead(bone death) and it's virtually bone on bone.hes on iv antibiotics  for the infection but we are both worried sick as not had the bone biopsy result.i just hope that it is just the infection that's caused soo much damage to the hip.hes been told he needs a hip replacement and told not to mobilise as it could snap completely.slso no fractures found.i have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that the biopsy result will be cancer.im a very anxious person anyway and I've never felt so ill.waiting for results is unbearable.my partner is struggling and coping a bit better than me.im in a right state and my anxiety condition is getting worse.how do we cope if it's bad news? I'm coming across as neurotic but I'm terrified.
