    Here we go again

    I had THR in July 2016. This forum got me through surgery and recovery. I went in August for my yearly checkup. The OS said everything looked good and my unoperated hip had some arthritis but was nowhere as bad as the hip they operated on. A week later I was back in the office because I was...

    6 week update- All seems to be going well- Completely off the cane and walking totally unaided. Still have my incision site very slightly oozing, but the OS said it is fine and will take time. This is the area right by my waist where the incision starts. The rest of the scar going down the leg...

    THR On the other side

    Tomorrow is 5 weeks since the surgery. Just saw the OS regarding the scar tissue bleeding, he said normal no infection and he put new steri strips on the area. X-RAY of new hip looked very good and I am mostly walking without the cane. Still some muscle soreness and tightness, but it is...

    THR On the other side

    Actually feel progress at 30 days post surgery. Walking at home without any device, still using the cane outside. My concern now is the incision site. At the very top of the incision there is scar tissue which looks like a big pimple, very red and sensitive. It is not infected or oozing, just...

    THR On the other side

    Today is four weeks since the surgery When I woke up I had a new pain that is in the groin and shoots into the thigh area. It is not constant, but I feel it often enough. Even when just sitting, it is like a throbbing. Anyone have any ideas what this could be? I pushed myself and walked outside...
