    Emotions pre op!

    4 days until surgery. Emotions couldn't be in more of a knot. Difficulty sleeping with the pain and anxiety of the upcoming surgery. I know that physical therapy at my hospital is very intense following joint replacement. I pray for some rest though. :sleep:

    Emotions pre op!

    Understandable. My surgery is 7/26 and I go from feeling excited to down right terrified. A whirlwind of emotions , even in my sleep it feels like. I try to concentrate on how much better life will be with a better range of motion and no hip pain.

    Can anyone relate to this pain please

    Yes, I relate. I have a very degenerative hip due to osteoarthritis. The pain in the groin is a very hard pulling sensation and tender.

    Hello everyone. In search of answers.

    I have been denied THR due to a BMI of 44. The doctor who denied me only does the posterior approach. I was told that I needed to lose at least 40lbs to have the surgery.
