    THR night time muscle spasms? collateral damage?

    I have had similar when I have "over-did" it. It settled down after a few days. I also felt similar pain when being on an extended car ride. If your xrays post op were all good then my guess would be it is muscular. >Putting excess strain on muscles that are weak and not used to being used (due...

    THR night time muscle spasms? collateral damage?

    I'm having the same problems with my "sleep" too. My LLD is also down to 1/2". I've managed to get lifts and it is much better. I've tried dancing a bit but I think my hip is still not strong enough yet. You are right, we are over the worst of it! My physio coverage ran out so I've been going...

    Good to hear from you! I am in the exact same boat!! I don't think we realized it would be this long of a haul but it's good that you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! I still walk funny but you are right; it is amazing to have that back! I don't know about you but I am getting...

    Thanks benzscotland ! I am trying! Just saw my OS yesterday and he is sending me for an EMG because I still can not move my leg outwards (the abductors). I'm hoping there is no nerve damage and that it is just weakness. Slowing down my exercise regime seems to have helped. I danced for the...

    Mbone, yes, I have a hard time standing for a long time; also when I am sitting on a hard surface. I'm glad you didn't have any withdrawals coming off Tramadol. I know my back pain comes form my LLD and which exacerbates the lumbar disc bulge I have. Thanks for your comment! billyedtimmy; I...

    I wish you all the best Barbara and I appreciate your comments! Giraffe44; thanks for your comment; this is a much tougher road than I expected it to be but I guess we have to remember that we are better than one month ago and the month before that! Glad you are getting around better now!

    THR Doing it Alone

    Thanks Vida! I think I am going to do just that! For me , walking is a challenge because of the LLD. I tried putting extra insoles into my shoe but I can't put any more in because my heel pops out of my shoe and the height is still not enough! So the more I walk, the more pain I feel until I get...

    Gosh, I totally know what you mean billyedtimmy! From all the stuff I read going in to this, I thought I would be back to normal by 3 months and I'm far from it! I'm the type of person who has always been so active and athletic so being 'disabled' for this long is frustrating. I keep having to...
