    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    I hope I'm not getting Pancreatitis again. I had it once before due to crappy eating habits and I've been eating horribly lately. I've thrown up 3 times today now and no idea why. No fun! :-(

    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    I may have the flu then. My boss is about to send me home from work. I have had the chills and then sweats back and forth all day and was sick about 20 minutes after I got to work. Sneezing, yawning, eyes watering, no sleep at all last night. It sucks!! I had 2 extra strength tylenol before...

    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    Okay folks....I will compromise...LOL!! I will cancel therapy for now as I can NOT not go to work. My boss would not be a happy camper at all!! I know it's medical, so he would wait till I took my vacation in June. I brought in a stool to prop my leg up on and I have heavy duty ice packs in...

    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    @oh2sew ...The vacation is only bc my it's my in-laws last "big trip" and they wanted us to go with them so they are paying. Trust me...we couldn't do it ourselves! I wonder what muscle that was?!?! I have never heard of dry needling. What is that? If it's inserting a needle anywhere, I'll...

    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    Hey @oh2sew ! I have the answer for you!! :snork: I went by my doctors office today bc they had not called me back to answer this exact question. I also got a call back from them about 4 hours later, not knowing that I had stopped by their other office. They DO remove the whole labrum...

    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    Thanks @Clipper ! Yes, fashion is important to my family and friends. Lol the doctor did inform me that when he does my left hip everything will be evened out. I figure once I get my shoes done and everything then things will be fine for a while. When I get the other hit done, that is when I...

    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    Oh my gosh @Missyhippy !!! That is awful! You poor thing. I just can't understand how a nurse can let their patient be in such pain. I know it's very few that do that, but it still amazes me. My husband's told them she needed to be in the ER where she can just say "I know you hurt, but I'm...

    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    Thanks y'all. My surgeon looked at my leg length the day after surgery and said there is definitely a discrepancy and said that he had forewarned there could be a small one. I thought maybe 1/4 inch. Never dreamed a whole inch from the anterior approach! And now I worry about all my summer...

    THR Post Op pain in thigh

    I have had thigh pain but it is almost gone now. I do PT twice a week. Stretches, mini squats or double leg press, step ups to front and side, rubber ball squeezes at knees with bridges, bridges with straight legs on exercise ball, etc. I am on 5mg oxy that I take 2-3 times a day, depending...

    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    Is a 1 inch leg discrepancy normal? I'm 5'2"" and my surgical leg is now a full 2.5 cm/1 inch longer than my other leg. My PT said it could cause back and knee problems. I got an orthotic to put in my winter shoes, but it only goes about 1/2 an inch or so. Problem is, I have like 50 pairs of...

    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    Thanks @Hip Hip Hooray!!! I am very thankful he was there. Had he not been, I don't know what would have happened. I wasn't in any shape to "discuss" options. Lol No one else, obviously, could have understand what was going on. The good news is that once it was focus or, things were much...

    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    Thanks @newlybionic !! I had my list of medications printed out for them at both my preop and the day of my surgery. The basic problem is that Naltrexone is a kissing cousin to Narcan. And of course everybody "knows" that the only thing narcan is used for is with overdoses. There is absolutely...

    THR Leg length discrepancy question

    Holy cow!! Who would have thought something like this would have happened. Obviously not me or it wouldn't have!! LOL My surgery was a week ago today. We had a huge problem in the hospital that first day. I got there at 5:30am for admission. I was the first surgery for Dr. Eilerman, so...
