    THR April 12 Anterior R THR

    The thing is that I have been in this situation before (I now realize) after rotator cuff surgery two years ago. I had freaky bizarre nerve pain all down my arm. The advice was the same then- massage (light) and even stimulation. So, good news/bad news, I'm not a rookie about this whole pain...

    THR April 12 Anterior R THR

    A couple of PTs have told me to gently massage the area to try to desensitize the nerve. Also use a rolling pin (start at the knee and head north) for even pressure. Last night I got a cold chill or something and the short hairs on my legs stood up. Left one was fine, but the right one was a...

    I am limiting my activity and working to stay ahead of the pain and icing and elevating. I think I've already read all of the provided information. I'm simply trying to find out if anyone else has experienced this shooting burning pain. Sent from my iPad

    THR April 12 Anterior R THR

    Released from the hospital on 4/14. Recovery seems to be going well (except daytime TV is terrible:gaah:). Occasionally I have a stabbing burning pain on the right side of my thigh which I'm attributing to nerve inflammation. Anyone else have this? It's mostly when I'm laying down and turn...
