    Main rule in recovery: No falling! @Mojo333 - got to admit I've not fallen yet and the thought does scare me. It will happen, just need it as far away from the op as I can get it

    THR 3 weeks post op

    Hi @Age28March2022, to be honest given that I had the differential all my life, I never knew any different and it was too big for something inside my shoe, so as a child it went onto the outside and looked ugly and was heavy - hence I ditched it a soon as I had a say. Not using it will have made...

    THR 3 weeks post op

    Hi @Mojo333 - I tend to swim most for exercise and have been doing less for various reasons, but we're on holiday on Cornwall this week and I'm trying to walk more and not use my stick as while I find it really helpful, I'm thinking maybe it's helping my hip muscles stay weaker. I've started...

    Hi @Age28March2022 - I had a roughly 1.5inch difference most of my life but never wore insoles since being allowed out of school t bars. Vanity initially, as a teenager wanting trendy shoes, then habit, so no, I've not done anything about the 0.5cm difference. I was told also that that...

    Ah thanks @Mojo333 Operation went well, though surgeon said he was glad to get it out as it was quite inflamed. Seeing him again tonight for follow up. My hip has been hurting over the past few weeks. I'm going to give it another week or so but if it doesn't stop I might see if I can see the...

    Thanks @Mojo333 It was good to give it a go, and each run felt better than the last. Looking reasonably good for a proper ski holiday at Easter.

    Hi, I thought I'd update you as today was a big (good) day. I skied! Just at a local indoor slope (had to cancel our ski holiday for a few reasons, 1 being I now need my gallbladder out and it's been more frequently painful recently) - but it's half term and we decided to give it a go. Was...

    THR Anyone have Dual Mobility Implant?

    @PolarIce the quote was from my surgeon! It gave me comfort.

    Thanks @Layla. You have a lovely Christmas too. I've read the trochanteric bursitis article and some do apply, but not all. It's weird, sometimes I can touch the area firmly and it's fine, but a sight brush the wrong way will irritate it. That and I'm just generally aware of it, especially if...

    Thank you @Schaargi and @Layla. Re skiing, this is something which has rolled from Easter '19, to Easter'20 to Feb'21. I hope to give skiing a go when there, but it may be to the extent of putting skis on and shuffling on the flat. It'll depend how everything feels, but if we can go, then we...

    I'm sorry to bother you again but I've another query. I'm now nearly 4mths out. I just live my life and don't do any specific hip exercises. In the couple of weeks straight after surgery I had a large purple bruise on my scar near the end (posterior approach so this would be mid thigh), and it...

    THR Anyone have Dual Mobility Implant?

    I had a dual mobility implant in August 21. I'm 50, and my THR was because of developmental dysplasia, so birth defect which I'd always known would require a THR. Growing up I was told of loads of things I couldn't do, always because of risk if I fell etc I did them all and was terrified of the...

    Thank you all. I loved @Coddfish' 'abduction and seduction' turn of phrase. I was put on restrictions until 3mths because of complications with the hip/op and officially came off then yesterday but spent the past week trying the extra things like lower seats, not worrying about the extra bend...

    THR LTHR Aug 16th & Nov 18th

    Good luck to both @58hippain (I was 3 days after you so find your thread a good comparison) and @Marigolds for tomorrow.

    Hi, I've got a probably stupid question. I am coming off total restrictions (OS used 12wks and 3mths interchangeably - 12 was last week, 3 is this Friday) so I'm using this week to try and come off. Have managed to put on my own stock (a bit of contortion with my foot behind me) but what...
