    Hi, I' m nearly 5 month post surgery, and to be honest still feeling a lot of misery. Last few days have been bad. Cant walk far at all because of plantar fasciitis, exercises don't seem to be helping at all. Becoming very isolated as it's to painful to go anywhere, can't sit down because...

    Countdown to my 2nd hip replacement - feeling fragile

    Hi @uktanny, I had my second 12 weeks ago and like you I was unable to walk any distance, never mind dance on the first. The relief was fantastic. Also like you I was in two minds this time because it was not as bad, but go for it. I did find a few nursing changes but it went well. It is true...

    Hi Jamie, did those exercises and also went to the pool and did the stair one on the steps. Did get new shoes as I thought that was the problem. The pain has eased a lot and you are very right about first thing in the morning. One bit of advice I was given before was NEVER walk in your bare...

    Hi,Toddlermom, I know that feeling. It's like waves of squeerness running through you. I'm still on ibuprofen and paracetamol and it doesn't seem to make a difference. But it hasn't happened as much now I'm nearly 10 weeks. My "new"hip isn't as stiff now .The very best with the 2nd one.

    THR Stiffness??<

    They were ones I found on the internet. Wall stretches, stair stretches, one on a chair with the heels facing each other and stretching the toes and rolling a ball under the foot. Some of these I used to do before the op in the gym and I wonder has the two months off caused this. I'm icing my...
