Revision THR 3 months out & still can't lift leg
Well had my nerve function test today, with the same doctor as did the one 11 months ago. He was able to compare the results & very, very different. This time very definite femoral nerve damage, he wasn't prepared to offer any opinions on my prognosis, but am seeing my surgeon again in 2 weeks...- Fibreartist

Revision THR 3 months out & still can't lift leg
I had my hip replaced at the end of November & am still unable to lift the leg very far, in fact it seems to be getting worse not better. Mentioned it to the person (not my surgeon) at my 6 week check & she just said "that happens", no suggestions as what to do, not do, recovery to be expected...- Fibreartist
