    THR 9 months post-hip recovery!!!

    Hi @Trudijane, I see you had your op the day after mine :). You sound just like me, over thinking things, what you can and can't do yet, impatience etc. I spent a lot of the recovery time in bed, in between walking around and doing a few exercises, I can bend and pick things off the floor now...

    Hi, I know I have spoken about this before but it's not improving, my back pain is really getting me down now.
