I thought...

    THR Now my other side hurts.

    Hi Jeff. I had this same phenomena. My left hip (the one that was just revision) had felt great after Sx 1 (and 2 revision for bleeding) but then my rt hip started hurting while initially recovering.

    Well nope, of course not. Cruel April 1st joke (scheduled for 4/2) but I guess no one including the surgeon looked at my chart ahead of time and they wanted more tests (anesthesia>pulmonary, and surgeon> more imaging). Now it’s this week - 5/7!! I’ve clicked on to refresh myself on the donts...
