    Other scars I have go a silvery white once they have fully healed.

    Thank you to both of you. Advice noted and acted upon. For anyone else reading this, it was three months post op for me yesterday. The hip pain really is much improved. The other aches and pains can probably be put down to things getting used to their new positions. I was told by a surgeon that...

    Thanks. I have started back at work. Not full time for a while yet. It's ok but standing an issue and usual so joint pain walking but it does vary in severity so I am hopeful. Today is not so good. I used my arms to pull myself up the bed and the left side of my mid back round the waist area...

    2 Pain is usually a 2 at rest. Right now it is a 2 as I have just woken. When I walk it can go up to an 8 after about twenty minutes. 3 Tramadol I take if pain gets very bad. I can't take anti inflammatories as I had a gastric bleed a couple of years ago. I am presently being treated for severe...

    Sorry for late reply. I have been unwell for non hip reasons. 1 I had a lateral replacement. 2 Right this minute it is a 2. When I walk triggers pain mainly this week in my left so joint area. I can actually press the spot and it spreads the pain across the back of my low back/buttocks. It...

    What would L3B and R3B level S be? Thank you for your time. Today continued walking and aforementioned areas kicked off followed by right buttock pain worse on sitting in R2B level T.

    Sorry level S with L28 and L38 along with T. More S than T. Just realised it is L2B and L3B. Read B as an 8. Sorry! Didn't have my glasses on.

    On my back the pain is mostly L38 and R38 level with T. It varies in severity and which side is the worst. Occasionally it is just the one side. I also get deep buttock pain L28 T and V. On front of left hip it is R2F level T and V. I work in a hospice. I work with patients and families, pre...

    I have sent mp's to the above and am grateful for the responses. I think there are some useful points here. Anyone had their leg lengthened during their op? Mine was due to my operated leg initially being shorter due to scoliosis. This familiar story with anyone else?

    THR 6 weeks and feeling GOOD

    Constipation was a nightmare for me! I so sympathise. Almost 3 weeks before anything of note happened. Those meds don't help at all. I work in a hospice and all meds are given with stool softeners to prevent any problem from meds and inactivity. I have never had anything as bad in the nether...
