Hi!!! You can get your DHS removal done and also your Vit-D levels are very low for which you have to be kept on Vit D supplements. Please consult me directly through Practo for detailed discussion regarding your symptoms, implant removal surgery options and complications, precautions.

Removal of implant can definitely be done. But it is not going to give you any symptomatic relief. Course of VitD therapy and muscle strengthening exercise will definitely help.

Hello,
You can definitely go for implant removal and see if some of your symptoms improve. However symptoms of tingling numbness and those related to fibromyalgia might still persists and you will need some therapy to gain strength back.
Also it is important to take appropriate course of Vitamin D as your levels suggest deficiency.
I would advice you to consult me online for detailed history of your symptoms and accurate online prescription.

I don’t think removal of implant will settle your problems though you can go for removal as the bone is United . You will be benefitted by strengthening and stretching exercises and a course of oral and injection Vitamin D along with calcium.

Yes u can remove implant . Only complication can occur if impant is fixed very tightly (screws) so if among all screw even if one not coming out. Whole implant to remove will be difficult task but not impossible. Out 10 only 2 case were implant difficult to remove.
2nd complication can be infection after removal if proper care of wound and antibiotic not taken .
Vit d level , calcium level , vit b12 level and even potasium salt level low in body can give rise to leg and fatigue prblm
Cystitis can cause this leg prblm.
Your spine can cause this leg prblm
But as surgery history is there .
Hip abductor muscle , buttock muscle tend to get weak so strength excersies by physiotherpy is required.
If any infection in body to be treated earliest as u have implant in body and if any infection is there not adviced to remove implant unless infection is settled.
Next Steps
visit Orthopaedic doctor for clinic examination in detail for knwoing the root cause
