    THR Fractured, Fixed, Failed, THR two days later

    It's been too long... As 2015 comes to an end I am happy to report that my hip is much better and my arm is healed mostly. We have had a rough year with my husband who is battling a serious lung disease which we thought for a while might take him from us quickly. He has responded well to...

    I wasn't expecting to be sending this update, but here goes ... I fell on my deck and broke my arm! Dammit, I'm so upset. Thank goodness my husband was home, he rushed me off to the hospital and i have a fractured humerus which means a sling and appointment with an orthopod for Thursday...

    Thanks for the reassuring words. I am trying to keep up with my pottery and dog fun and yes, it does help. I'm sure this will pass, looking forward, not back:SUNsmile:

    It's been eleven months since my accident, physically things are going very well I think. I'm walking every day with the dogs and aside from a bit of stiffness I don't have any pain. What I do have is anxiety... I had anxiety disorder in the past, over fifteen years ago but it has returned. I...

    Hi all, here's my 10 month update: things are going pretty well, I am back to doing everything I used to do with minimal discomfort. Yes, I still get pretty achy after a long walk or work in my studio but I expect that's pretty normal. All in all I feel like I have adjusted to the new me. I...

    Hi all it's been a little while and I am feeling pretty good. Most of the aches and pains that plagued me have gone except of course for stiffness. I bought a cycle trainer so I can ride my bicycle like a stationary bike and my knee pains went quite quickly away. So this happened today...I...

    Hi @Hoppy Nanny ...it is annoying isn't it? For me it comes and goes, if I try to walk really straight it is better but when it comes it lasts for a while and really hurts. It sounds very similar to what you describe in the knee.

    @Josephine I've just been to see my GP because of a lot of pain in my op side knee when I lift my knee or bear weight. It comes and goes. This is an ongoing issue I've had for a while with a number of suggestions as to what is the cause including the SI joint and it band. Several stretches...

    Hi all, I am happy to report that I am doing so much better! Yes I am still stiff, yes I still get sore...but I feel like I am making a lot of progress. I managed to get my kiln fired the other day. I had a lot of pottery made but not glazed before my hip fracture, and I finally got through...

    It's been a while, I did manage to get some relief from the IT band and SI joint issues I was having. I had an extra session with the physical therapist and he showed me a couple of exercises I could do to strengthen my glutes. I also spent some time massaging the IT band and that helped a...
