    THR My New Left Hip

    I'm sure that was scary. I had a similar experience the day after one of my surgeries. Turns out that my BP was low because I was dehydrated. Try to push fluids for a day or two until your body finds its balance. Some re-hydration drinks may help as well. Feel better!

    THR It and quad pain 15 weeks post op<

    Welcome to BoneSmart, @Flipout718. Unfortunately, it's unlikely you will receive a reply from KyHippie, since she has not been on the forum in four years. I'm sorry you are dealing with continuing issues and we'd love to help. You are still early in your recovery and we have a lot of...

    TKR Spring in my step?

    Thank you for the update, @Gwennie. Glad to read that walking and cycling have been working for your recovery. Don't worry too much about regressing; recovery is always a "2 steps forward, 1 step backwards" dance. Give yourself -- and your husband -- time to heal from your recent...

    TKR First of two knees done

    Sorry about that, @alex_mom! I had a similar experience this morning trying to get through to a doctor's office to request a test. Those "multiple choice" menus never have what we want and then you end up going in circles trying to find the right one. I like Jockette's solution and am...

    TKR April 28, 2026

    What a great update, @Jermert! You are doing really well for just one-month from surgery. As Layla said, be careful not to overdo and you will be back to work in November.

    This is really smart. Let us know how your meeting with him goes. Also, let us know if you need any other surgeons' names for a second opinion. They are YOUR records -- not the surgeons! -- so the practice cannot refuse to provide you with copies. They are required by law to give you...

    THR Help me keep faith

    I know you want to get back to your life quickly; but trying to go back to work at two weeks isn't the way to get there. And it will likely delay -- and possibly even compromise -- your longterm recovery. The best approach is to take things very slowly during the first 4-6 weeks. Don't...
