    Surgery scheduled---still undecided

    Exactly....pop some Aleve and do what you can to get those muscles moving as much as you ca. I'm know it is sore and not to bendy but once you get going it will get better. You are right you cannot make it any worse. Just keep telling yourself there is light at the end of the tunnel. Good...

    THR Running after hip replacement.

    THR Upper groin feels fuller and rubs now

    Yes The pseudo sleeping with a lot of pillows works....also I slept with my leg elevated above my heart. Time your meds so that you take them right before sleep yet I must tell you it took 6 weeks before I slept through the night. Don't despair, it does get better but you will still wake up...
