    THR Pain after one year

    I had forgotten the rules regarding posting, so I apologize. Thanks for responding. That does make a lot of sense. I will try the cocoa butter to see if that helps. I still have some numbness on my outer thigh/hip area also. Love this forum!

    THR Pain after one year

    Hi everyone. I haven’t been on here in a long time, but I’m glad everyone can gather here to hear what everyone is going through and off some advice. I had my anterior THR in 3/21. I haven’t been very active since, as I didn’t not return to my physically demanding job. I instead now work...

    THR Tennis after posterior THR

    I’m curious if you are playing any singles tennis? I had a THR approx 4 weeks ago and am dying to play. Unfortunately my doctor stated that I should play doubles from now on but that’s not what I enjoy.

    THR Nerve pain with thigh muscle atrophy after THR

    Glad that your nerve pain has improved. I also play tennis and am excited to return, but I’m just four weeks from the hip replacement. My doctor told me that I should play doubles from now on, but not singles. I honestly love playing singles. Has your doctor told you the same?

    THR Woohoo! Let the healing begin!!

    Glad to hear that you are doing well. I think the anxiety and insomnia before surgery is the worst. It’s so great being on the other side for many reasons.

    THR Ongoing pain in back and groin

    I’m sorry you are in so much pain. I too have a couple bulging disks in lower back with right leg sciatica. You have to be your own advocate, because I have learned that doctors might be good with knowledge and interventions, but that doesn’t mean that they listen to their patients. Be very...

    THR Pain after one year

    Can anyone advise when they resumed their regular vitamins and/or supplements. I forgot to ask the PA and when I called yesterday, he wasn’t working. Didn’t want to bother the MD. I’m just finding that I am not eating right for healing. I went to the grocery store before my surgery and...

    THR One Week Out

    So true. I keep reminding myself how intrusive this surgery actually was. Not like getting a root canal

    THR One Week Out

    Oh my Lord! I’m so sorry to read this. We can all feel your pain, as you write it. Almost like nails on a chalkboard. I believe that dislocations have more of an obvious disfigurement. I’m praying that it was a muscle pull or the like. I’m glad you are calling your doctor. Don’t forget...

    THR One Week Out

    It is interesting to read the different approaches to recovering. Yours sounds better than mine. Lol. I take Lyrica 75 mg every 8 hours, Celebrex 200 mg twice a day. I was prescribed 5 Oxy every 4 hrs with 325 Tylenol in between the oxy. I’m down to 2 Oxys a day. I have a lot of pain today...

    THR One Week Out

    I’m right there with you, as I had the same surgery on the same day. I’m not sure I can answer your questions, but I thought I’d give you my experiences so far as a comparison. Yes, I do have the leg compression machine. It is loud and obnoxious. I totally agree. I left it off once for a...

    That page was very helpful. I’m laying down now with my leg elevated, toes above eyes. Thanks again!

    THR Pain after one year

    Thank you. I do have one pillow under my leg to reduce swelling. Do you think I should add more pillows. I’ve also been trying to reduce my use of Oxycodone, trying instead to rely more on Tylenol. I’m down to 3 oxy a day. My swelling has gone down until today. I forgot to ice my leg when...
