    No I did not consult any Therapist, had a chat with my Surgeon when I was re-admitted to hospital with Cellulitis 4 months post op and he told me just to massage it with any sort of cream. I chose to use bio oil as I had a bottle in the house. Now that has run out I use any old moisturiser. I...

    Well a full year has passed since I had my right hip replaced on 29th November 2012 and I feel great. I have walked round Venice, Spain (well not all of it) and spent 3 weeks in Florida mostly by the pool with a couple of parks thrown in. I feel 20 years younger and am in such a happy place...

    Back from my trip to Venice and all the walking and step climbing tested this new hip of mine and apart from muscle aching it behaved brilliantly.

    Barbie I am so sorry for your distress. I cannot say my cellulitis was painful, my word would be very sore, bit like bad sun burn. I know we all define pain differently but I did not need any pain relief. Hopefully you will get your problem resolved soon.

    I have spoken to my daughter who is a doctor and she told me to draw round to see if it spreads. My temperature has now gone up to 38.1 so have taken 2 paracetamol and will take it again in an hour.
