    THR Robin's Left Hip Replacement Recovery

    Two month mark - hip is great. However, pain in that knee has gotten so bad, I have to use a cane to walk. The pain started gradually, not "an all of a sudden " so I cannot identify what, if anything, I did that caused an injury. Has anyone else had gradual onset of knee pain after hip...

    THR New THR and quite upsetting

    I'm just so sorry that you are being treated this way. I was wondering if you have the option to follow-up with a different surgeon, in a different practice. A new surgeon would get your records, even speak to the person who did your surgery then share that information with you. Most...

    THR September 28 left THR posterior

    I slept on my lazyboy couch w/recliner nearly 3 weeks post-op. I tried to sleep in my bed upstairs right after surgery but found it too uncomfortable as well. Getting up the stairs wasn't too bad, but coming downstairs in the morning was very painful. I opted to just sleep on couch, and it...
