    THR I'm home

    @Justine. It may have been said already, but I was wondering if you had a posterior or anterior approach done on your hip?

    Yeah me too. I was out of the hospital and had low grade fever and nausea, dizziness, etc. I actually went to the ER as I was concerned it could be a blood clot or infection or something. I ended up being fine. Normal low grade fever for after surgery and the oxycodone was making me sick.

    THR Kevin- left hip

    @Royal1383, good morning Ken. I know what you're going through, I've been very fortunate, and for me, the anticipation was the worst part of the surgery thus far. I'm almost 3 weeks post op and doing very well. In fact, it's 2.30AM and I'm heading into the mountains to do some fishing today. My...

    THR MiChickie gets her new hip!

    Had an anterior approach left hip replacement, and yes, my leg muscles have and do feel quite tight. Feels amazing to stretch them out from time to time, although for me the stretches can hurt a little bit, but it feels awesome when I'm done.

    THR Kevin- left hip

    Thanks for the input. I'm definitely taking that advice and working my leg, but not to excess and keeping it iced. We'll see what tomorrow brings, but I'm optimistic that I can keep my good streak going.

    THR Kevin- left hip

    So I just finished my first physical therapy and I'm 100% lead bearing on my hip. I'm just in awe of medical technology right now, that being said the forecast is for the pain to start here in the next day or two. I greatly appreciate the advice and I'll be icing and elevating like crazy. Hell...

    THR Kevin- left hip

    My left hip was done yesterday, June 15th. Man I was nervous, but I'm already so happy that I had this done. A quick background if anyone is curious. So I started feeling some pain in my left hip and groin area a few years ago. The pain wasn't too bad and I was able to carry on with most...
