    THR New to post - Hip replacement 5/7

    Saw surgeon. He said the strange bump and pain is coming from hematomas on my bottom and hip. He said it could be pressing up against soft tissue and that is why I am having pain. He said it will take time to heal. Went to my first outside physical therapist. It was nice. Doing some stretches...

    Hi Josephine. I am going to try and make a doctor appointment with my regular MD I cannot deal with this pain any longer. There is something wrong. Thanks re PT. I have stopped all PT until I get better. Heat or ice isn't helping much. Ice can help numb it for a little while, then it...

    Hematoma. Well, had my new therapist today. I had her look at the area where it is painful. She is pretty sure it is a hematoma. She said I could use heat and work through that area. She said in a matter of time my body will release it. Nice to know. She said about 1/3 of her patients get...

    ICE! Ok, so since I have been out of the hospital on Mothers day, I have been using ice constantly. About a little over an hour ago, I read a post where someone said they use up so much ice. I thought to myself, I am using ice packs that are called ACE reusable cold compress. I decided to...

    Thanks Jamie. I guess I was hoping for a quicker recovery. I've been walking around the house on one crutch, doing dishes walking a couple stairs to do laundry. I have a hard time staying put. It's hard to sit for too long or stand for too long. As far as elevating, I sit on my recliner and...

    Hi cbstick. I hear you. It will take time. Each one of us is different and some take longer. The first week I couldn't lift my leg at all to get into bed. The therapist had me practice lifting my heel up a little while sitting in the recliner. After a few hard tries, I did it. You should...

    Thanks Fearbox. I'm trying. But like you it is very painful. I was in less pain before surgery -- unless I moved a certain way then it felt like my ball came out of the socket. I had avascular necrosis. Apparently blood wasn't reaching the bone and it collapsed. I had some lower buttock...

    sorry. So it's mainly R5B B and R5B C. I sit on a recliner. Do you think I am not sitting properly and it is causing pain in this region? I don't know how else to sit. I could lie down on the couch, but sitting I can do other things. Josephine love that diagram.

    Wow DebraR. It seems like you experienced the same good bedside manners as I did. I had mine at Stanford and my doctor would have his minions come in and talk to me. My doctor came in a couple times saying he can't believe with all the medication I am taking why I would have so much pain. I...

    After waking up from surgery on 5/7/15, I started immediately feeling pain in the buttock area. Didn't feel much around hip region. Well, two weeks later, it is still there. I feel if I didn't have this horrible huge lump in the buttock area, I would be doing great. Has anyone else...
