    THR cazmat's recovery thread

    @Jaycey Thanks, is it possible to change the title of my thread to what I posted as? Unless people read the whole thread they will not see my current issue. My arthroscopy recovery is quite different to my replacement (and a year apart!)

    THR cazmat's recovery thread

    Hello, I had my right hip replaced 7 weeks ago. Recovery has been fairly straight forward and I am gradually getting back to normal. I have some groin and thigh pain if I overdo it, but I think this is pretty normal. What I'm a bit worried about is my knee on the op leg. It's sore, wakes...

    2019 January Jackpots - Are you having hip surgery in January?

    Booked in for RTHR on 15th Jan and very nervous!

    Steroid injection

    Poor you. My surgeon understands that quality of life in your 40’s is actually quite important and is willing to replace at my age now, rather than expect me to live in pain, curtailing my life until I’m “old enough” Sounds like you’ve been unlucky to find 3 people with old fashioned views. Do...

    Steroid injection

    Good luck then, hope it helps. If you’ve got arthritis then an arthroscopy probably won’t help (like me) looking at a replacement now really...I’m 41 so doc trying to buy time for me.

    Steroid injection

    Hi, my arthroscopy hasn’t been very successful, but it wasn’t known that I had arthritis until I had the arthroscopy so it probably never was going to help much. Most recent injection was to try and settle things after the arthroscopy which was 4 months ago. The injections I have had before...

    Steroid injection

    Hi, I’ve had 3 over the past 18 months (and an arthroscopy) most recent was this week. Happy to answer any questions if you have any...if I can. Good luck.

    Arthroscopy

    For the hip? I know knee arthroscopy is common but I was referred from a large hospital to another surgeon as my original hospital does not do hip arthroscopy. I thought many surgeons were sceptical about the role and usefulness of hip arthroscopy? Cazmat arthroscopy Feb 2017 (age 41)

    Arthroscopy

    I had an arthroscopy. It was mainly diagnostic. It showed I do have arthritis which hadn’t shown on X-rays or MRI. I don’t think arthroscopies are that common and not that many surgeons do them. Think I will end up having a replacement in the not too distant future. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Arthroscopy today

    Hi, yes at times it’s worse than it was before the op. Hurts in the same way but more intense, more bothersome at night. I knocked physio on the head a few weeks ago as it’s just too painful and really not walking much. See doctor in a week. Just worried he’ll say...well that’s it, wait until...

    Arthroscopy today

    So 9 weeks post op and it feels worse! I know recovery is long but starting to worry I’m going to be no better off. It’s going to be years before I’ll get it replaced. Feel miserable [emoji37] Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    Arthroscopy today

    Hi @Jaycey I don’t. The physio didn’t even try and apply pressure as just a light prod resulted in an ouch from me! Been tennis balling for a few days now and feel really bruised...hoping that’s the storm before the calm!! Why does it hurt sooo much?! Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    Frustrated beyond belief

    Hello, that’s really rubbish for you and nonsense that you’re too young. Whereabouts are you? Do you have arthritis? Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum
