    Thanks for the advise. I think I will get my daughter to ride the quietest of my horses first as they haven't been ridden for 2 years. Then I will get on. I will try to build some sort of mounting block first cuz that makes sense. I do have a round pen for training so I think most of my riding...

    THR Brand new on here, but a hippie for 11 months

    Caluna hi glad to see you found the forum. Your post interested me because I lave a 1" difference in my operated leg which has caused me some problems. I did see my chiropractor and he gave me a lift for my shoe and it really helped with my limp as well as some other aches ands pains in my back...

    I am coming up on 4 months and my dr says that I can start to ride my horses for short periods of time. Has anyone got any tips or suggestions/precautions, etc. for riding after THR.

    BionicWoman2 good for you for your color run. That gives me hope. I am just over three months but there is no way that I could even think about running. In fact as I was trying to keep up with my grand kids on the weekend I was wondering if I would ever be able to run again. I guess we should...

    Poppet the whole idea of treating the underlying issues makes a lot so sense to me. Her evaluation of the compensations that my body has made over the years seemed relevant to the problems that I have been having, plus the 1 inch difference in leg length hasn't helped to speed my recovery. It is...

    Finally found a good physio therapist she uses the "Muscle Activation Technique" I had my first treatment today and I feel that it really helped me. I have been having a lot of problems and discomfort due to the leg length difference so I am really hoping this can help me with some of my...

    THR "Runaround Sue Rocks On to the Other Side"

    I here so much about the cost of medical essentials and operations. I realize how fortunate I am to be under the Canadian system where the cost of any operation (except for elective surgery) is covered by our Alberta health care. So there is absolutely no cost. Also I received all of my aids for...

    THR Horsecrazy on the other side 9:am July 19th

    Sorry to hear you are having so much pain especially when walking. At least you can get some relief when you are resting. I have followed the mantra for bonesmart that if it hurts don't do it. I think that is wise. I am anxiously waiting to get back on my horse. I haven't been able to ride for...

    nmscienceteacher I am sorry to hear u r in so much pain and that the swelling is back. Like u say the weekend is coming and you can rest. I don't know many people who realize all the prep work you do not to mention all the extra hours put in during the year. Teaching is hard work at the best of...

    44 years old and need to lose a 100lbs

    jebrig3164 just a note of caution - my friend just had her second hip replacement on her right side in March. She too had a problem with her weight. The doctor told her after surgery that for the first while she was not to have full weight bearing on the operated side. One of the nurses got her...

    THR Alice is on the road to recovery

    didoan good idea to have them for six weeks that will give u lots of time to recover. How often do u get them to come in? this operation has kept me from doing a lot of things. The other things I had to have done for me was to have the lawn mowed. I have a big yard and so i have a riding mower...

    THR It's All Good

    Enginerdude it was a little over a week after getting out of the hospital before I thought that I could manage by myself but I was glad that my daughter was staying with me to make meals and pick things up at the store that I needed or take me out for a drive if I got cabin fever. During the day...
