    Hip Arthroscopy CJ ready for recovery!

    @BusterBeans Take it easy on the pain. Although Percocet is a little strong for my tastes we are all different. Yeah I was doing good the first week. Then bad again. Then good and. Then just ok..............you get the picture. I still have bad days but they just simply call for some Advil...

    THR Life in the fast (swim) lane

    Hey swim girl. Just dropping in to say hi. Hope your doing well! When is your 1 month check? Mine will be Monday. Sounds like you slowly getting there. I will say that it is tough transitioning back to walking normal. I struggled for about a week or so. Walking on UNEVEN ground actually is...

    Hip Arthroscopy CJ ready for recovery!

    Lol. I should really clarify. When I say finishing concrete, I'm saying I was standing there, fully upright, holding nothing more than a concrete trial in my right hand and waving it back and forth over the surface to get a nice finish. Not really "work" in my book. But it felt good to be...

    Hip Arthroscopy CJ ready for recovery!

    Hey busterbeans, I'm feeling pretty good all things considered!! PT changed the way I was walking on the crutches and I like it much more. A little slower but feels more natural. Went from no touching at all to just toe touch weight bearing She checked my range of motion and I'm at about...

    Hip Arthroscopy CJ ready for recovery!

    I'm wondering why you say I should stay on the strong paid Meds for such an extended period? I've been reading quite a bit and it seems to be very common for folks to ditch the strong stuff after just a few days. I can honestly say that right now I'm in less pain than before surgery and only...

    Hip Arthroscopy CJ ready for recovery!

    Dr's orders. When I first mentioned it here I got the same reaction, but it seems to be very common in my area. I have talked to multiple people from different dr.'s in the St. Louis area and they all used the CPM. My dr is with Washington university which what from what I understand is one...

    Hip Arthroscopy CJ ready for recovery!

    Thanks Jaycey. That's what I was thinking but wanted to make sure. Tylenol it is! So far I'm doing good as far as pain. Only a 2-3 most of the time. 6-8 hours on this CPM is tough to get in. I'm usually doing about 1.5 hours at a time before I get tired of it and ready to get off. But so far...

    Hip Arthroscopy CJ ready for recovery!

    Quick question. I'm trying to kick the norco already. Am I ok to go to Advil or should I go Tylenol? Does it matter? I'm taking naproxen for the inflammation. Just didnt know if Advil would be an issue combined with it. As strange as it sound Tylenol gives me a headache. (Hence why I hate the...
