    THR groin pain?

    Thank you so much everyone for your comments and help! I will definitely take the next two weeks much slower and not stress my hips or my brain :) I will let you know how it is doing with a few days rest, ice and tylenol. This forum is awesome!

    THR groin pain?

    Haha! You are absolutely correct Alex! I have many experts around me :) I have already read the articles Josephine suggested, had some tylenol and am sitting in a chair doing nothing! I will get some ice on it now. Again, thank you both for your help! Kim

    WOW! Thank you Josephine! I will read all of this information tonight. And I do hear you :) I will cut back on my activities and start on tylenol right away. And I will absolutely not push so hard with my next surgery which is two weeks tomorrow. I really do feel much better knowing that...

    THR groin pain?

    Thanks for your reply Billy! I thought the same thing so I immediately slowed down on the exercises and it just won't go away - I am having a terrible time trying to drive too, after about 20 minutes the whole leg starts to ache. I don't mean to sound like a winer :( I see the surgeon again on...

    THR groin pain?

    Hello Everyone, I am so glad I just found this website and I have been reading voraciously as I have been suffering from terrible groin pain since week 5 - I am at week 9 post op at this time. The first couple of weeks went pretty well I think and at week 2 I was walking with a cane and by week...
