Infection in artificial hip joint rod connected to the leg

Hi There,

As the titles said, my mother had a surgery last year (Hip Joint Replacement), over the few months it was ok to move on with the walker, but since the time my mother had pain in the leg (not the in the artificial hip joint), pain and stiffness, sometimes she is not able to walk one ladder step and sometimes not even walk with walker.

So, we went to a lot of orthopaedics including the one who did this surgery, they said the artificial joint is infected and some orthopaedics say the artificial joint is not infected instead the rod which is connected to the leg is infect. so, I believe this is the truth by observing every reports and x-ray, the rod which is connected to the leg bone is infected.

Now, they said there would be another surgery to get this artificial thing cleaned from infection and bacteria and i afraid we are not in the financial condition to make this surgery to happen again.

So, i want you people or doctors to help me find the way to avoid the surgery for a couple of months and give me the idea or home remedy or some kind of foods or supplements to give to my mother to get the rod infected, please note, the rod is infected not the natural bone.

Or, something should I give my mother to get the natural bone stronger so that the bacteria killed themselves out. please forgive my bad English. I really mean it

My mother's age is 52 years. and she had a sugar problem (Not Serious Problem)
Please Help
Thanks In Advance

Sorry, I meant to say that suggest the food or supplements to get the artificial hip joint rod to get uninfected from bacteria.
