    THR Leahs Sloooww but steady recovery

    I think I've had like 2 days where I have had energy. I have a new theory that maybe my BP is to low. While watching tv tonight I took it after taking my BP meds for the night and it was 97/58.

    I am out of my tramadol and because timing with the dr I will not get my dose tonight. I have different doses, smaller, from the past I will have to make due with. I hate being dependent.

    Thank you Layla. Yes it has been 19 days since my last thigh pain. I am very happy. I am considering going to the gym to work on my weak muscles making me limp. Nothing.crazy, maybe the elliptical. They also have water massage chairs and that sounds glorious.

    I have a question about exercises. I know this site supports the theory you don't need to exercise the hip to heal. What if I am 15 weeks post op and still limping. Not from pain but from muscle weakness. I limped a little from pain pre op but this is worse and different. I can't do stairs...

    I had scfe at age 10. A failed pin removal at 11ish. The only thing that accomplished was breaking off the heads. Second surgeon said first surgeons choice of pins was not a good one. So Nov 2018 I had a LTHR and the hip had to be taken out in one peice as no chance of removing screws. I have...
