    THR LTHR-April 12th

    Hahah well I guess me cleaning my deck and deck furniture today would be a No No! I'm not a doctor but I'm pretty sure if you don't do PT you will not gain your complete mobility! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FiremanSam - need reassurance!

    Hey FiremanSam!!! I had my hip done on April 12th. I left the hospital 2 days later walking with a cane. I got rid of the cane the next day. Now that's me and we r around the same age. Things are so much better! The pain I was having from bone on bone is gone! I do have some pain but nothing...

    THR Pain returned after several months - caused by my back pain??

    Hi MyAussieGirl! You should ask your doctor if you can take MiraLax. I've had a colostomy and I have lots of scar tissue I can't get a bowel blockage. I take it daily and have no problems at all. And it's better for your bowels than taking a laxative. Good Luck! Sent from my iPhone using...

    momjfb, Thanks for asking! I'm doing great! I've been going to PT twice a week so far, I also do my other exercises 3 times a day.

    Anterior Hip Replacement went awesome!!! Came home Friday walking on a cane, I did use a walker at first. They had me up walking 2 hours after I got in my room. That night my leg down to my toes went numb! Scared me! My doctor said the numbing medicine had worked it's way down but should get...

    Hip Resurfacing [BILATERAL] Could it be impingement?<

    Slinky why would you think you have an impingement? I had an impingement for years and didn't know it, I could never get down in my squat when i was doing crossfit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FiremanSam - need reassurance!

    Sorry I just now read this! I'm having my surgery April 12th, he's doing it Anterior. My opinion that's the best way! They don't cut any muscles or tendons, you don't have the 90 degree restriction. Good Luck! Hope you can find a doctor in your area. You could fly to Birmingham, Alabama...

    FiremanSam - need reassurance!

    Hi FiremanSam! My husband is a firefighter[emoji16] so I can understand how you feel. My doctor told me that my new hip would last me 30 years and I could go back to crossfit (he said I would rather you didn't lol) anything I did before the new hip I would be fine. Sent from my iPhone using...

    I can't wait to get my new hip!!! I started taking arthritis meds about 6 months ago for my right ankle (that's another story) now I knew my hip was bad but I didn't realize till I ran out of meds how bad it had gotten. My daughter was like MOM do I need to take you to the hospital. She was...

    THR Discouraged about length of time it is taking me<

    My mom is 78, she had one knee done years ago and the other a couple years ago. When she had the second knee done she couldn't walk at all! Her doctor finally checked her hips, they both were bone on bone with deterioration of both femoral heads. She had both hips done last year and she is...

    Bending restrictions

    I agree! It's crazy how they all say different things. I'm using a doctor here in Birmingham at the Andrews Sports Medicine. They are a great group of doctors. Sent from my iPhone
