    THR Over did it after a year and a half

    Thank you, JayCee and Mojo333. I hate that worried feeling that came back. I now have a job where I sit all day. That could be it, lack of exercise. I used to walk so much and stand so much and now I sit a ton. It probably has atrophied that muscle. I feel better today. Thanks so much for...

    THR Over did it after a year and a half

    Hi Everybody, I had a THR left hip back in October 2019. Since then, I've been pretty happy with the result. I can usually walk a lot and not have any pain, although sometimes it is achy. Then last weekend I went on two long walks - one about 6 miles and the other about 3 miles and then on...

    Thank you Layla! That job proved too much too early. My right hip is acting up a bit which is strange since there was nothing wrong with it before! Otherwise, things have greatly improved. Thank you to everyone for all your help through this process!

    Barre3 online is not that hard and I like the flexibility of not going to a gym or a studio. And you can modify at home and follow the person doing the easy workout if you’re not up to the harder one. Also you can choose 10 or 30 minutes which is nice. I just started a new job and the...

    THR Over did it after a year and a half

    Hello, happy to announce that I’m doing really well. The weird foot numbness has disappeared and I’m working out at home almost everyday (Barre3 classes online, I love them!). It’s a busy time of year and I’m thinking about my hip less and less. Happy holidays to everyone on bonesmart! Thank...

    Thank you both of you for easing my mind a bit. I don’t have any back issues that I know of. Socks and slippers help a lot it’s only at night when I notice it.

    @Mojo333 its a really strange sensation- not at all painful though so hopefully it will just go away. Thank you for your words of encouragement.

    THR Over did it after a year and a half

    Hello everybody. So here I am at week 7 and everything is going well. Walking without assistance, feeling really good, follow up with surgeon went well- he told me to forget I even had my hip replaced and sometimes I do! However, I am noticing a weird numbness on my foot. It’s primarily on the...

    THR Over did it after a year and a half

    @boots hey! I’m fortunate to be a stay at home mom but my husband owns his own business and of course there’s a lot he can’t do within the constraints of preschool that ends at 3:30pm! I’m not doing PT, my therapist was young and kinda pushy and I dropped it after the second visit...

    @Gretelin My real name is Gretchen but I much prefer Greta. I’m in Colorado. I just took 1000mg of Tylenol to take the edge off. Ouf this process is very slow! It’s hard to find the patience to let the body recover. I feel pressure from friends and family to be back to normal because « it’s...

    @Gretelin hello our names are so similar how funny that we find ourselves here! My heart was racing too and I suspected it was the blood thinners (baby aspirin and Lovenox) but wound up taking a trip to the ER to rule out a pulmonary embolism. Sleeping didn’t really happen for me until week 3...

    Hello, So driving a manual has proved too much. I think it’s aggravated a tendon on my upper thigh. It’s better today but yesterday I became a member of the dreaded ODIC. Going to borrow my sisters automatic car and take the rest of the weekend easy. :tiredwheel:

    THR Over did it after a year and a half

    Thank you @Layla and @Mojo333 ! I like the little 10-20 min walks. I’m terrible at exercise but walking has always cleared my mind. That was one of the deciding factors for scheduling the surgery. I stopped being able to walk to the grocery store and I’d had a couple people *notice* my limp...

    @Elf1 yes I was told that I could drive once I felt ready and off the narcotics. I drove today and that was fine; however, I did not take my daughter to school or pick her up. The drop off and pick up are hectic and I don’t feel fast enough yet. One month anniversary tomorrow! Woot!

    @Mayhip8 its early here in Colorado or at least it was when I read your post. You convinced me to finally download and try the Ten percent happier app. I used to do a lot of yoga and a lot of breathing exercises and honestly I’ve grown to dislike both. Walking has always been the most...
