    @Jaycey Do you have any knowledge or experience with transdermal pain meds? Do you know of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide)?

    Hi @sandydog, oh woman, that's no fun at all. I think it is great that your CT scan came out normal. What does you doctor mean soft tissue? That covers a lot. I hope the doctor has some helpful info for you today.

    Hi @Suzette! It worked the @ before your name. Thanks My hip has not interfered with my sleep for weeks. But I am able to sleep on my right side.Not so much on the left (new hip side) as it starts to ache real quick. One of my worries before surgery was having to sleep on my back only for a...

    Bilateral THR Anteriors 15th June 2015 - my recovery

    Thank you Cynthia and Suzette. My own thread seems intimidating. This is the first time I joined a chat thingy. Cynthia, my advice to people who are thinking about having THR and/or seem to have no other choice is do it sooner than later. The longer we wait the more damage to the rest of our...

I thought David's butt and thighs were appropriate under the circumstances. Something to aspire to or just enjoy looking at Wow, I am impressed with how helpful, kind and...
