    Reverse Shoulder Replacement or PT?

    Both my prior and scheduled surgery were same day procedures. I would suggest sooner than later and you may be operated on and recovering before the holidays. I would highly recommend an ice machine. I had one prescribed, when they would pay for it for a total knee replacement and it is so...

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement or PT?

    I can't imagine you will be able to really use your shoulder again without surgical repair but that is me. I had a similar issue 8 years ago at 58 and tried PT. After a few months I moved on to surgery and the surgeon said it was just in time to get back some of my use of my shoulder. After...

    THR Mature Mama has her RTHR and 4th joint!

    Hi all! Just about 6 months out from my hip replacement. Most days I don't even remember my hip is replaced (or the other hip and both knees). The biggest challenge I still have is socks and sneakers on this foot, as my hip is still stiff. But I know that will get better. I am walking and...

    THR Mature Mama has her RTHR and 4th joint!

    THR Why does unoperated leg hurt?

    Maybe you can reduce the length of your walk for a few weeks. The Mish mosh weather this time of year doesn't help either. My 90 year old Dad is driving from New England to Florida over the course of a week, visiting with family. It may not be summer weather but it is much warmer. The month...

    THR Why does unoperated leg hurt?

    It's tougher this time of the year. Do your best to keep moving if even a bit every day until spring allows your body to really heal and relax. Your unoperated leg has done all the hard work. No surprise when it gets a bit annoyed. Keep moving!!

    THR Solar 7's recovery

    Good luck with your dietary changes. I know they will help tremendously. Also if you slowly increase your exercise you will definitely feel stronger in the next few months. I am there with dropping some weight and increasing exercise. Though I feel strong in my hip, I still fall back...
