    THR Left Hip First - SuperPath vs Traditional

    I had an anterolateral incision for both left hip revisions. I had almost no pain postop. I iced it a lot. They don’t cut any muscles. The hip revisions are another story. Thanks to Depuy, my metal on metal started wearing and flaking off cobalt and chromium. And I had muscle damage. I may limp...

    THR Does PT and exercise help Hip Bursitis after RTHR? So frustrated.

    Any exercise, such as walking, will keep inflaming the bursa. A THR will help or cortisone can help tremendously.

    THR Hip revision and 3 dislocations in 6 months

    This a long story. I have had bilateral hip replacements done (2005 and 2007). They were metal on metal. About a year ago, I started having left groin pain. Took awhile to get a diagnosis. But the two metals wearing and my blood cobalt level was three times the normal range. So I had...

    TKR IT band syndrome

    Well I had a left knee replacement in 1/2019. I have this pain on the inside of my left knee since the surgery. From looking at the anatomy, it could be the ligament. Any ideas ot PT I can do at home. It is interfering with going up and down stairs

    TKR IT band syndrome

    Roy Gardner While on my Italy trip, in 12 days I walked 40 miles but I had to rest frequently. I think I need to increase my endurance. I belong to the Y and they have personal trainers. Of course you have to pay $25/session to get a training plan. I can also go to PT about my gait.
