    THR New September Sapphire here

    Abacus, don’t feel like you’re too young or your hip isn’t ‘bad enough’. I had my right hip replaced 8 years ago at 46, similar to you, bone on bone but still doing fitness and yoga. I was so glad I did it - I hadn’t realised how much the pain has been affecting me until it had gone! Since...

    THR Just got surgery date

    Thank you Jaycey- I’ve been told to ‘social distance’ for 14 days prior to Covid test then isolate for 2 days in between test and operation. So, while I assume I’m safe to go out for a walk away from people I should really stay at a distance from my husband and particularly son who will be...

    THR Just got surgery date

    not sure if I’m nervous or excited - probably both! I first joined this forum 8 years ago when I had my right hip fixed (anterior approach, ceramic). Marcus Bankes in London did a fabulous job... at the time my left hip was bad but I managed to stave off the inevitable with Pilates, curcumin...

    THR Completed on June 14, 2012

    It sounds like after your initial shaky start you are coming on leaps and bounds - well done! Which kind of yoga do you practice? I'm really missing my vinyassa flow but found that some of the breathing exercises put me in good stead for recovery.

    THR All Done!!

    Yippee- made it to the other side- new joint went in the leg it was supposed to and both legs the same length. Needn't have worried about spinal- all straightforward and pain free. Strong pain killers made me too nauseous to hold food down for first two days but now on day 3 have had fantastic...

    New here!

    Thank you Bottomshollow for the tip about putting something under the chair - I hadnt even thought about that! Pre-op tests all went well yesterday, just keeping fingers crossed results OK for go-ahead Tuesday. Trying not to catch a cold from my son before then! After all the racing around...
