    THR I finally did it! I’m on the other side!

    hi Layla, I did have my 3 month anniversary. Everything with my hip couldn’t be better! I am having knee and back issues though. Doctor briefly discussed my options but I’m not ready to face knee surgery. I need to build up my courage. Plus the surgeon said pt will not be easy. The pt therapist...

    Hi everyone, I’m doing ok but my knees are very bad. It seems they behaved themselves when I had hip pain but now they are acting up. I am back using the walker because I don’t trust my knees. I did take a fall. I fell on the unoperated side but it still felt the jolt. I tripped over the bed...

    @cold_brew I think it was when she was stretching my leg either that or it was from the stationary bike which was also a very long stretch for me.

    Hi everyone, I quit PT. It gave me more pain than I ever had. I think it was the therapist stretching my muscles that did it. It felt like something was pulled. I am much better now. No more PT for me thank you very much. Also my knees hurt worse. I have bad knees anyway but this just made them...

    Hi everyone! I am boring, I have nothing new to report except that I have had 2 pt sessions and I’m a little sore. They are pretty gentle though, they don’t force me to do anything and tell me to do what I am able and to stop if it hurts. I hope everyone is doing well too

    Congrats! I am in PA too, I had a wonderful surgeon from OSS Health in Hanover PA. I would recommend to anyone. I hope you continue to do well. This surgery is nothing short of a miracle. It gives you your quality of life back. Keep posting

    Thank you @Layla . I continue to do well I’m going to do a little PT this week . I will make it perfectly clear that they must be gentle. I am not going to be in pain after all this time. I am so glad I had this surgery

    I continue to do well, I’m even spending time lying on my operated side with little discomfort. I have not done any PT yet. I’m still using the walker. Sleeping fine. I still have a lot of pain meds left it’s been almost a month.

    I don’t have much to talk about since my recovery is going so well. I am in and out of bed easily, starting to put more weight on my op side but still using the walker. Pain at a minimal. Not even worth taking a Tylenol for. I am so great full to my surgeon I think he did a great job. Thanks to...

    It’s going well, I am able to get in on my own now! Leg has strengthened and I can put my left foot on the bar while grabbing the headboard and hoist myself in!

    Hi CricketHip, I think my leg is still weak and the matress is a little high. May take time. Got my stitches out today, I’m feeling quite sore , I don’t know why. All part of the healing process I guess and definetly easier than dealing with arthritis pain.

    Another good day, getting stronger but with one fly in the ointment. I’m having trouble getting into bed. Iv watched videos on how to but I’m heavy so it’s not easy. Any suggestions? … Besides loose weight? Haha!
