    THR No pain

    Catdemar I'm sure you will be like the rest of us and the day of your surgery you will be asking yourself why did I wait so long ?. I have really learned the past year there are many different things you can do to stay in great shape...... They may not be what you have always done or would...

    THR No pain

    I'm looking for input/advice on realistic activity during and "after" recovery. I'm very active work out 6-7 days a week cross fit /bikram yoga.

    Holy cow I slept 9 hours last night!! That's like a dream come true!! I have done that in a couple years. Finally sleeping on my side is working comfortably. But definitely need to get that spacing right with a pillow between your legs. I'm not going to know how to act with all this sleep!!! I...

    THR exhaustion after hip surgery

    I had my thr on the 17th of February also. I'm doing well but if I get to rambunctious my energy does get very low. Do you think you may be over doing it? When I say rambunctious I mean I walked outside for 15 min.:) I told myself I was going to lay low for 2 weeks so don't expect to much from...

    THR No pain

    I was well educated on all my meds before being discharged and I have 3 kids who are RN . I don't typically take anything so the last time I really checked out the strength of a Tylenol it was 325mg well I'm glad I looked at my bottle to see they were 500mg tablets. My son picked over all my...

    Having THR on March 24

    Not sure how open you are to visualization but after I schedualed my TH replacement I watch it on utube a few times:) then I would visualize the doctor/nurses every part of the surgery going well and myself doing well in recovery. The days before my replacement I have never been so sure and...

    THR No pain

    Elizak you seems so passionate about pain meds. I'm sure you have a good reason for that. If you need them by all means take them. But if you don't don't pollute your body with drugs. We all come from different walks of life I prefer to stay with natural resources when possible. You had a...

    THR No pain

    It's awesome to no longer have the stabbing pain of bone on bone. I'm thankful for a 5 hour at a time sleep considering I wasn't sleeping at all before surgery. So for me to get 8 hours a sleep a night I feel like a new person. I've been on a anti-inflammatory diets for mths and continue to do...

    THR No pain

    Elizak I'm just being honest about my experience . Sabersfan is right it is possible to have little to no pain. I'm not going to turn my very good experience into something it's not just in case someone has a different experience. That's what this site is for. I'm at this time taking Tylenol...

    THR No pain

    Oh one more thing I was fortunate enough to have a spinal and congious sedation. I felt great when I woke. I did have a real problem with low blood pressure for 2 days, fainting once:). It did not bother me at all but scared my poor husband . Luckily I was sitting in a chair. This can happen...

    THR No pain

    Thank you all for you encouraging comments. All is still well . I did experience some butt pain the night before last because I was dying to sleep on my side. Even though I put a pillow between my legs I don't think it was a good idea to lie that way as long as I did. So my new strategy is to...
