    Hip problem now ?

    Hello Bruce and thank you for your reply. Driving 17 days after the surgery albeit for short distances ? That's pretty good. Great to hear you can do that and I appreciate hearing the details of the pain relief they gave you. I hope the rest of your recovery goes well too and many thanks again.

    Hip problem now ?

    Hello Leejaa and thank you for that information. I'm so pleased to hear from you, and indeed from all of you. I'm feeling a bit isolated right now. This is a difficult stage to be at and it's good to hear from people who've been through the same thing. Take care

    Hip problem now ?

    Hello. I had bi-lateral knee replacements just over three years ago and have been very happy with the results. However, for the last couple of months I have been having pain in my left hip which sometimes goes into the thigh, knee or calf but I suspect it's caused by the hip. How common is it...

    PKR 4 hour ice pack myth

    I just bought a large pack of frozen sweetcorn from which I made four ice packs in my own polythene freezer bags. This way I was able to have two in the freezer all the time and to have two cold ones on the go (one on each knee as I had bi-lateral replacements). I used tea towels to protect...
