    THR 3 weeks in RTHR

    7 weeks on, progressing nicely. Walking unaided ( still a slight limp), little or no pain relief needed. I’m really feeling more or less back to myself. Love my new hip, love being able to walk without pain. I can do most things, I even had a bath today stepped right in and right back out again...

    THR 3 weeks in RTHR

    That info About energy drain was really helpful, thank you. Feeling good today, knee pain seems to have gone. The wheelchair was a godsend yesterday but I have to say I am so grateful to be a temporary user. It was an eye opener to experience first hand how people in a busy shopping centre don’t...

    thanks Layla. It’s funny I remember thinking before the op that surely one procedure couldn’t fix it all. I had a lot of referred pain in my knee, the pain across my lower back was excruciating at times. Couldn’t imagine in my head they could fix it, and they have! I feel very, very fortunate

    Thank you so much mojo. The first couple of weeks were certainly tough. Constipation (bleug) sleep all over the place, swelling, bruising etc. But the difference I can see in just a week might be encouraging to those still in the early days. I just kept telling myself that everything I was going...

    THR 3 weeks in RTHR

    hi there! I joined the forum this morning, I have been reading for a few weeks now as I had THR (right hip, anterior approach) on 22nd August here in the UK. The op itself went really well and I was discharged the following day. The first week to ten days were difficult, especially sleep but...
