    Bilateral THR Aug.18 - a success!

    Hey hipster, have a question... Did you have trouble raising your knee forward in the 1st few months? For instance putting pants on... Lifting your leg up to put in the pant leg? I find that standing straight I can lift my leg for exercises, but slightly bent over I have trouble with my left...

    Hi cookster65! Sounds like you are frustrated and I feel your pain! I'm guessing someone sent you the recovery timeline by now for BTHR. That made me feel much better. Everyone heals at their own rate absolutely and definitely pay attention to signals from your bod. I'm not an expert...

Getting up regularly and trying to stretch. Also walk to bathroom on the other end of the building to sort...

    hello! My first forum post EVER. I was wondering if there were some other bilaterals out there and how their progress was going. Overall at 8-9 weeks I am doing well I think, but getting a case of the blues because I thought I would be further along. I think I have more pain than expected by...
