    THR My Big THR Recovery-Crickethip

    @CricketHip, so glad you are feeling great! And I get what you mean about the hiking. The other night at Zumba it occurred to me that that was the first time doing Zumba without even the tiniest bit of hip pain and it was great! That's great about being almost back to a normal workload. I have...

    THR Almost 3 weeks post op

    Hi all! I popped in briefly after my 2nd THR. It's been about 11 weeks now and I've been back to 'normal' life for about 5 weeks now. I just started working out again last week. I did Zumba every week since last Feb after my 1st THR(July 2014). I'm happy to report I am taking care of my 4...

    I have a question. When using my cane do I hold it on the same as the leg I had surgery on? I feel like that should be common knowledge but I'm just not sure. TIA Julie THR rt 25th July of 2014 THR lt 30th October of 2015

    THR 48hrs and BEYOND.....

    @DGrant Your attitude and outlook is awesome. Isn't isn't it crazy how much chronic pain changes you as a person? I'm a strong believer in modern medicine and specialists are a must! My 2 older boys had congenital heart defects and modern medicine has definitely been on our side, fixing both of...

    THR GIMPY GAL sprints to the finish line!

    Congrats @GimpyGal on your new hip! I suffer anxiety and it was off the charts before my surgery as well. I also woke up from anesthesia with a full blown panic attack. Awesome. Glad your recovery is going well! And I switched from Norco to Tramadol so I can be present with my mind. Hope...

    Glad you took a rest day! I slept from 10pm to 1030 this morning and just woke up from a nap. Husband asked if I was sick and I said No, I'm exhausted. Going to a movie and dinner tonight for my birthday, so that'll probably take all my energy. Hope you had a good day! Julie THR rt 25th July...

    THR My Big THR Recovery-Crickethip

    Glad you are getting back to work and some normalcy. I've been reading a lot and see almost everyone is getting PT. Is it odd that I don't have it? I didn't have it last time either except for in the hospital. Julie THR rt 25th July of 2014 THR lt 30th October of 2015

    THR Almost 3 weeks post op

    Hi all! I guess I'll start a recovery thread although I'm 3 weeks in already. I just found this amazing group yesterday. Boy could I have used you about a year ago. I just had LTHR on October 30, 2015. I had congenital hip dysplasia. So far no real issues except I'm not getting to spend as much...

    Bilateral THR Sept. 8, 2015 Bilateral hips

    I almost wish I did both but I had zero pain in the left. The right was bone on bone and went through my last pregnancy like that. I had the THR 9 weeks postpartum. I'd had the pain for 2 years. My leg was 3/4" shorter than the other. I was amazed after surgery that that wretched pain was just...

    @FocalHoney Glad you are feeling better! I had congenital hip dysplasia and just had my 2nd THR. I had the first one done about 15 mos ago. I'm 42 and 4 small kids. I had the same feelings of tightness and such after my first one done. I started exercising about 4 mos post op with low impact...

    THR Had my 5½ week checkup and can put weight on my leg

    @sash I had a similar situation to yours and was without prescription pain meds for 2 days. I started having pains in my groin that were shooting pains. They reminded me of when I was pregnant and you get something similar we call 'lightening crotch' because it feels like a bolt of lightening...
