Thanks @Layla thought I’d added to my original feed sorry! Yeah please change it to maximus tendon transfer advice please. Thanks for your help and hopefully someone has heard of it.
Hi all, I am seeing if anyone has any knowledge or experience of maximus tendon transfer? It’s another operation I am potentially going to have due to ongoing abductor weakness. Any advice is appreciated
Hi there again @Divipops - it’s so lovely to hear people doing so well isn’t it and I am so pleased for them as I know you will be too. However, I like yourself have suffered from an initial trauma which I agree makes recovery very different. I am waiting another mri and nerve conduction test as...
Not my surgeon but the physio who has seen it swell during treatment
Ice and elevation
It does help. The swelling is more after being on my feet for a long period of time or doing any new activity. The surgeon has said to try any form of exercise and to push through it- we haven’t really got...
Aw it’s awful @Divipops to hear you are still struggling. I am learning you have to be quite forceful and demanding with both surgeon and physio! Everyone is different and you know your own body. Don’t just put up when there are options to try. If we had walked around in a water bubble...
How are you doing? Sounds like you’ve had a tough time too! Glad to hear the screw is still in place. Have they offered you anything for the nerve damage?
Happy New Year to all. Just reporting in and seeing how others are progressing too. I have had my Pregabalin increased to 50mg x twice a day and 100mg at bedtime but not really seeing any benefit to this to be honest. Anything more than 30 mins on crutches or 5 mins no support walking at home...
Thank you for you kind words @myglasshalffull @CricketHip. At least I still have my sense of humour! That they can’t take away ☺️. I am waiting on the surgeon coming back to me re a place at a hospital hydro pool but today have re joined my local hotel gym which has a small warm pool and a hot...
Good evening- please feel free to change my thread to winge bag, pest or still struggling! .
I am massively struggling still after my 3rd operation. I have so much weakness after 2 years on crutches that I have limited range of movement on top of nerve pain which is relentless at night. I have...
I have been to see my surgeon who has suggested a nerve treatment medication to help me get respite from burning, tingling leg pain which is keeping me awake most nights. The doctor has given me Pregabalin which I have started to take. There is no real relief as yet. Can anyone advise any other...
Hi @Divipops just wanted to send a virtual hug and let you know I understand your frustration. I am a primary school teacher and am unable to work 2 years after a similar accident to yourself. I so miss my job . I had hip pinning (DHS) then a full hip replacement and more recently a muscle...
Thank you for your kind reply it puts me at ease and I’ll see how I go. I see the surgeon soon so unless it gets any worse I should manage but I’ll keep my eye on it. I didn’t know about it being such a different operation as there isn't much information out there on it! It was good to read...
