THR Surgery done early!
Hello Bone Smart friends It’s 12 weeks post op tomorrow and I’m laid on the bed crying. The tightness & tingling in my knee is as bad as ever. It’s like a constant noise in my brain bringing me down & making me feel very depressed. Nothing I do makes it feel easier. I do not have a single...- MagsE66

Thank you Layla for acknowledging my two month anniversary! Wow. Seems like a long journey! Thanks also Sohowarrior for your message too! I'm now 9 weeks post op & unbelievably still suffering with my knee. My surgeon dismissed it saying it would settle by 12 weeks. I was so low last week I...- MagsE66

Good morning Had a good 6 week appointment with my surgeon this week who is pleased with my progress. All good news. He dismissed my knee tingles/fuzzy feeling as one of those things that will eventually go! He said all hip restrictions were now removed! Which is bitter- sweet. My body is...- MagsE66

Hello friends Here I am again 5 weeks post op & having a seriously ‘blue’ day. I feel like I’ve taken 5 steps backwards over the last two days. Today my knee is so sore & tingly it's hindering my walking. I have no idea how to improve the discomfort in my knee. Nothing helps- ice/ no exercise/...- MagsE66

Hello there thank you for your message. Progress is happening - definitely slow & steady. I’m learning to be patient! My swollen knee has subsided but my knee itself is still quite painful. I really think it was seriously ‘man- handled’ during the operation as it’s sore & looks out of line...- MagsE66

Thank you so much for all your help, advice & support. It is all very reassuring. I am feeling much brighter. Worries about DVT have gone & I'm managing the pain in my heels. I have just one further question though about my knee. My knee is swollen & painful (same side as my hip replacement)...- MagsE66
