    THR One perplexing short, sharp pain after two years

    Thanks for your encouragement, John, and adding a bit of fun! Recovery is indeed, a slippery slope. We're heading for some hot muggy weather here in Massachusetts this week, but luckily still won't be sweltering.

    Thanks so much, I think I am finally out of questions!

    THR One perplexing short, sharp pain after two years

    Thanks so much Subie, this is very amazing to read. I did google when you wrote your first reply, and it started to seem possible that this is describing my situation. A couple more questions, you called your pain “burning” and I called mine “sharp”. Probably neither of us knows if we are...

    Thank you. I am often left feeling I am not conveying the whole picture. I must add that my recovery still goes in the direction of improving, not worsening.

    Thanks, Yes, he said the x-ray showed sufficient growth. This was confirmed last August as well. And yes, the X-rays were also seen a year ago by an unrelated doctor who also confirmed no loosening. The back connection is starting to seem possible to me, as the doctor's PA has also thought...

    Also, I should clarify that it only hurts when I move out of the position of standing and bending over, NOT while I am doing that activity.

    Thanks! Can you tell me a little more about how your symptoms presented? Did yours also only happen with similar specific triggering events? And was the pain as short-lived as mine, working out in only a couple of minutes? And how was it diagnosed? I would appreciate any information you might...

    I haven’t posted in over a year, and my issues from that time have all resolved. Also, I just had my two year check up, including X-rays, and all is fine. But one issue remains: I still don’t understand what it is that hurts when I have been in a position of standing up, but bending over, to...

    Thanks, Eman85, and Jaycey. It is encouraging to know that all is still coming along, as long as I do not have hardware issues. And yes, I can certainly live with what is going on now, but want to be able to do more and take walks outdoors without pavement eventually. This is a much longer road...

    Two comments and clarifications: one, I did have new xrays today, and he didn't indicate them showing any problem with loosening. And two, while the recovery was harder with their right hip, the right hip had also been worse from the beginning. But I think even so, you are saying that YES, that...

    9 months and a bit discouraged. Wondering if anyone else has similar experiences. Sometime in late January, I was finally able to completely stop using the cane. After a few weeks without it, I did a major change in my bedroom. My nephew moved all the heavy stuff, but I emptied and refilled...

    Thanks, all is coming along. But wondering how long it will be before I can put my own shoes and socks on again, and pick up the things I drop without my "grabber". My limited mobility had been much more of problem for me, than pain, so while the pain is gone (except for certain movements), I...

    Thanks! I've been so focused on the just-done left hip, that I hadn't realized I had reached 2 months with the right hip! And yes, the shoulder is definitely improving. It really liked the heating pad. Feel like I'm turning a corner now, with this second hip.

    THR Gimpy Gal post op!

    Thanks, I love the crutch trick! And I did not know zipper stockings existed. Only about ten days to go, so will continue on. And yes, it is good to have both hips done. Should be interesting, to see how recovery goes. I expect the second one will catch up to the first one soon enough, and then...

    THR Gimpy Gal post op!

    Been following your adventures, and so glad the sernoma resolved. I had my second hip done, same date as yours (first was July 13th). I too, had a terrible time getting the log leg into bed. Tried the belt first night home, with only partial success. My nephew (not a kid, in his 30's) lives with...
