    THR Groin Pain

    Hello Sissy46 Glad to hear you are walking normally. I still have a slight waddle like a penguin un I unless I use a stick! I don't use it unless I'm out. Keep fit is going well and I'm doing a step class once a week. It's easy to forget how far we've come, I remarked to my hubby the other day...

    THR Groin Pain

    Hiya Sissy, Finally I am sleeping! Changed to Decaff teabags and that seems to have done the trick. I am going to keep fit once a week and enjoying that. Still walking like an orangutan without a stick though! At the end of the day I can feel the stiffness but I'm sure one day it will feel...

    THR Groin Pain

    Hi guys, I know you are all going through it too, knowing someone 'out there' understands is a great help. I found doing some Pilates helped with the stiffness and eased the hip. Did quite a bit of walking today so I am going to lie on the floor in front of the TV and do some more Pilates. I'm...

    THR Groin Pain

    Hello everyone! Have read all your posts about sleep. I am still not sleeping very well. I seem to have reached a plateau. Walking with one stick to stop myself walking with a limp, except when I'm indoors. I'm back to doing chores, cooking and laundry etc. Shouldn't I feel more comfortable by...

    THR right hip

    When I spoke to th physio he said to treat it as you would a broken leg. To allow the bone to knit together, if you break your leg, you are given crutches and told not to weight bear. Plus as the shaft of the implant goes into the femur it allows the fit to remain tight. It seems there are...

    THR right hip

    mark1 We have the same kind of hip, ceramic, non-cemented. The reason my surgeon said to take it slowly was so that the bone can grow into the ceramic and become a tighter fit. I've started back at keep fit and ache like mad, my bum cheeks especially the operated side aches like mad. Its these...

    THR right hip

    Our doctors over here hate to tell you too much information, don't know why. He'll probably say you can ditch the crutches when you feel able. I found that walking without a stick made me walk like a orang-utan and made me very sore. Wait until you can do lots of side leg lifts when lying on...

    THR Groin Pain

    Happy New Year! Hope everyone enjoyed their festivities. Taking the trees down in the morning and packing it all away for next year! I got a bit carried away with my progress and have been walking around without a stick, paid the price with increased pain and lopsided walking. As soon as I went...

    THR Sissie's recovery

    Pug, is cream crackered code for being tipsy? If so, what an interesting expression. So sorry, it's rhyming slang for knackered, as in tired. I forgot that as I'm from London you probably don't use rhyming slang. :whistle: Listening to Bing Crosby and singing along, having a little tipple...
