    THR Pain in the buttock

    Hi @Desire - I'm three weeks post op yesterday and I had a few days of pain in the butt! That resolved and now I'm at the 'pain in the quad' stage!

    THR Two down and none to go for CivicAngel!

    Thanks @Jaycey - I'm sure it is because I can manage my own expectations better this (2nd) time around instead of fretting about how slowly I'm recovering [emoji2] It takes time and there's nothing to be gained from trying to rush it Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    THR Two down and none to go for CivicAngel!

    Hi @copsham - yes, my sleep hasn't been that brill since before my first thr in October last year. I think mainly due to pain from the right hip and lower back pain. I'm hoping that, one this thr has recovered (which is still ongoing with the first one to be honest) my lower back issues may...
