    Revision THR Hip revision recovery time ...

    beesmum I don't seem able to post. My message is cut short, very short!! The edit seemed to work, so will try another edit. Glad to hear from you, i wondered how you were getting on. Yes, Mr Smith talks a lot and fast, but he listens. Are you going for the further tests? One thing you can...

    THR Limping

    Hello Noreen :) I've had two hips replaced. First one I tried really hard to keep the stockings on but after a week I just felt they were cutting off the circulation. So left them off. 2nd hip, as soon as I got home from the hospital, off they came and stayed off!! Aileen

    Revision THR Hip revision recovery time ...

    :) It's funny looking at that and knowing I was one of the 36 revisions!! How times have changed, or got more expensive, when I had a private consultation with Mr Smith back in 2000 it cost a mere £50. I had an initial xray via my doctor who told me in a shocked voice advanced osteo...

    Revision THR Hip revision recovery time ...

    Hello beesmum Mr. Smith also takes NHS patients but he is so popular that his waiting list is very long. I had my first hip replacement done by Mr Smith privately as back then the waiting lists were even worse. I had the 2nd hip replacement and revision done on the NHS by Mr Smith. I could...

    Revision THR Hip revision recovery time ...

    Josephine I could have kissed Mr. Smith when he made that comment. My husband had constantly gone on about me not doing exercises, from my point of view I was fine if I didn't do them. When I did try I invariably ended up with a new ache or pain. So, no more nagging from husband, result...

    Revision THR Hip revision recovery time ...

    Hello beesmum, how frustrating was that visit with your surgeon!! When I visited mine at the six month mark I was also convinced something was wrong but left feeling totally happy and much relieved. He took time to explain the reasons for the pain, spent ages showing me the xray and pointing out...

    Revision THR Hip revision recovery time ...

    Hi Beesmum, I think we are twins with hip history. I had my first hip replacement in 2000, had revision surgery August 2012. Two bone grafts and screws like you. The cup had come loose and that and the ball thing had worked their way up into my pelvis. making that leg appear shorter. So, I...

    Leg Lengthening, pain in groin, knee

    Hello Gerush, I had revision surgery on my right hip last August, which included stretching the leg at least an inch! I had my left hip replaced the previous October from which I recovered fast. My surgeon told me after this latest operation that I might find things a bit more sore this time...

    THR Nearly Two Years after LTHR and now a popping/movement sensation

    Oh Suzie, the NHS Waiting List :hissy: When I finally plucked up courage, I waited 4 months to see the Surgeon. That was Feb 2011. That was when I found out how bad I had let it get. He wrote ASAP on my form and I handed it in at the desk. ASAP turned out to be October 2011. :sad: He...

    THR Nearly Two Years after LTHR and now a popping/movement sensation

    Hi Suzie, Jo is right some do walk about on a loose cup for years and you don't fall apart :snork: I managed it for about 3 years, one year of which I didn't do anything about it, more fool me! Strangely, like you it was an accident which caused it. A lady drove out of a turning in front of...

    Revision THR will I ever reach the end of this drama?

    Tammy is right, better days are coming :) Just stop worrying about doing exercises and posture. I also have a tilted pelvis and my spine at the bottom had curved the same way. The tilted pelvis accounted for 2" of my leg shortness. I wonder is tilted pelvis becomes a permanent feature as my...

    Revision THR will I ever reach the end of this drama?

    Hello Millie, I had hip revision surgery at the end of August. It wasn't straight forward as I had left it to get so bad. I needed very large bone grafts and for the first 7 weeks after I was beginning to despair it would ever get less painful. And, all the time I was getting asked by my...

    Here I am, can't believe I made this side !!

    Update, 4 weeks post Op :yes 4: This week I feel I returned to the outside world. For the past 2 years I have been housebound except for hospital visits. Completely unable to walk more than a few yards. Haven't even been able to get down into my car let alone drive it for the same amount of...

    Arthritis pain increasing quickly

    Rider, it was my right already replaced hip (many years ago) that first started showing signs of pain. Then my left hip started some time later, that hip got progressively worse and took over from the pain in the right one. So I've just had it replaced. The right hip still isn't as bad as the...

    Insurance approved - still on schedule

    HandyAndy, I was terrified before my operation, so much so I put it off for two years. The lovely people on this forum helped me so much. What a fool I was, immediately post op the pain was so much better than before the op and that was before I pressed the blue button for pain relief...

    THR Almost a year!!

    Haldox, I hope you get your back problem sorted. Seems as one bit of us gets repaired, another bit starts complaining. I was shocked on my xray to see how tilted up to the right my pelvis was, my spine has bent in the same direction. Pre op absolutely no back pain, since op on left hip, oh...
