    Didn't see this coming!!!

    Firstly, I am so sorry you are going through all this. Secondly, I too am OCD about my legs being shaved but I have the answer for you. I have been doing this long before my THR and I am still doing it. Get a ruler and duct tape or any strong tape and tape a razor to the end of the ruler and bam...

    THR Oh my gosh, I think I am OK!

    Hi Sharon, yes the doctor put me on plaquinil, however I have spent much of my life taking control drugs and most times felt better off them. I am searching other more natural ways.

    THR Oh my gosh, I think I am OK!

    Oh wow, Josephine you have completely opened my eyes...my family is very supportive and expects nothing from me, it was what I was expecting of myself and I am realizing now if I don't slow down my recovery will be even much much longer. For therapy, I stand holding on to a chair..bring knee up...

    Hi, I am new to this forum. Tomorrow I will be 3 months post op for LTHR. I have been following a hip replacement Page on Facebook, and while the people are fantastic, I seem to be the odd one of the bunch. I always try to remain positive and I know not to compare. However, I still felt like the...
