    THR Linette333 is in recovery<

    One year ago today! @Layla and @Mojo333 Thank you both for thinking of me. Ì have just read through this thread and I am amazed at the progress I have made. It is true that it takes a full year to really see the full results. My hip feels totally "normal " now and I rarely give it a thought -...

    Hip Arthroscopy Flare up

    I had a PRP Injection on the NHS here in the UK! I expect it depends on the individual surgeon and also location. On the day I had my injection, there were 6 of us! This injection is only recommended for certain conditions, I think, but I doubt that it would make anything worse.

    Hip Arthroscopy Flare up

    Hi @Natka ! Sorry to read about your pain flare-up. I just wanted to let you know that I am also in the UK and I had the injection on the NHS. I am aware that It is very expensive otherwise. It was my surgeon's suggestion. Good luck!

    THR 1st THR - 32 - Right hip

    Yes, bursitis was my only problem at the time, although there was some arthritis according to the x-ray. The pain relief was instant. The only downside was the fact that I had to be strictly non weight-bearing for 6 weeks. They were very insistent about this if the injection was to be as...

    THR 1st THR - 32 - Right hip

    Hi @BigDon ! I had a PRP injection nearly 2 years ago now and it has been a total success for me. I had been struggling with bursitis in my right hip for a couple of years and after a couple of cortisone injections which didn't work for any length of time, this was the last resort really. I...

    Hip pain prevents walking. Avn or bursitis?

    Hi @VSlowLife ! It sounds like you are doing really well. I know it's still early days for you, but it seems like good progress. I suffered from trochanteric bursitis in my right hip for almost 2 years in total. Not that it was diagnosed straight away - I was passed from one physio to...

    THR Tampa doctor needed

    Hi @CoastalGirl ! @CricketHip is right in saying that I had a prp injection for hip bursitis. I suffered from bursitis for about 2 years. I had countless rounds of physio, which didn't help, then a steroid injection which only lasted for 3 months. The consultant said that there was no point in...

    THR Linette333 is in recovery<

    Thanks for checking up on me @mojo - 6 months already, you're right! I wish I could write a totally positive 6 month update, but of course I can't. My hip continues to be wonderful and I am so glad I had the surgery. When I think back to how I was this time last year, I am so grateful. I...

    THR Linette333 is in recovery<

    My 5 month update. That in itself seems incredible - 5 whole months??!! The 4 - 5 month period was a real turning point for me. I had really reached the point where I wasn't giving much thought to my hip at all - just doing everything normally. So it was all great - until it wasn't...
