    THR Schaargi Hip #2 Nov. 2

    Hi @Schaargi...sounds like you are doing great! Since your PT says you're exactly where you should be and everything is going so well, maybe that can help counter the inevitable worries and pessimism--I'm very familiar with those nasty thoughts (probably everyone on this forum is) and how hard...

    THR Psoas tendonitis post-THR

    Seasons greetings to you too, @HelenaM! Nice to hear from you, and I'm so happy to hear how well you're doing! :) Just coming up to 10 months here, and I'm doing pretty well too, at last. I can still bring on the groin pain if I overdo it, but it takes a lot more to overdo it now--too many...

    THR Psoas tendonitis post-THR

    Thanks, @Schaargi! I hope you have a restful night (on your side) with the minimum of pain! And despite the pain issues, your general progress after only one week sounds pretty awesome :) Just another comment on my PT's observation about my gait...he said that my external rotators must be weak...

    THR Psoas tendonitis post-THR

    Thanks for the suggestions and good wishes! I will definitely try that stretch, @DancerHips...hope you're having some fun in NYC to go with the ice! @Hippielife, I actually just went to see the PT who makes my orthotics. He watched me walk and made a couple of observations about my gait...

    THR Psoas tendonitis post-THR

    Thanks for checking in, @HelenaM. After 8 months, I can say I am doing better. My groin continues to pinch and burn much of the time, but it's usually a dull roar that I can somewhat tune out. But the good news is, I can walk farther now, up to an hour with just a short little rest in the...

    Very glad to hear you're safely on the other side and that things are going well so far. Hoping your recovery is smooth sailing from here on :)

    THR Schaargi Hip #2 Nov. 2

    It's good to hear from you, @Schaargi. Though you had to work your way through a lot of surgeons to get there, the way forward is now clear, as Hip4Life says. Good for you for being so thorough and persevering through all this; you sound positive and committed. The surgeon you've chosen sounds...

    THR So far, so good, knock wood

    Hi @DancerHips. I'm sorry to hear about the pain and dysfunction you're experiencing. I had my THR at the beginning of March so I'm a couple months "ahead" of you. I still have a lot of groin pain and at this point I wouldn't attempt a two-mile walk, much as I wish I could. Today I managed to...

    THR Question - One year after thr

    In my case the consensus seems to be that the long recovery is because of the hip retroversion and the extra work the surgeon had to do during the surgery to correct it--cutting off more bone etc. At almost 6 months, my functionality is still limited and the groin pain continues. Obviously still...

    THR Arthroscopic hip bursectomy post THR?

    Good morning, @Nyc1961... Looks like you've gotten plenty of good advice above. I've got nothing to add; just want to say I've been thinking about you and hoping that things get easier somehow. And of course I hope today's cataract surgery is completely routine and successful. At least you'll be...

    THR Arthroscopic hip bursectomy post THR?

    Oh boy... That is not a happy prognosis. If the bursectomy is not a good idea, that doesn't leave you with a whole lot of options beyond pain management and PT. When I saw my surgeon last week (and he readily agreed to do what he could to expedite my MRI, btw), he also suggested CBD, but as I...

    THR Arthroscopic hip bursectomy post THR?

    I'm so sorry to hear this, @Nyc1961. No wonder you are so frustrated; to go through all that rigamarole and then to be told the surgeon doesn't do arthroscopic bursectomy! That's just stupid! But it still seems like if you can just find a surgeon who does do that procedure, it would give you...

    THR Arthroscopic hip bursectomy post THR?

    Hi @Nyc1961. I hope the recovery from your cataract surgery is going well. And, I'm glad to hear you are doing better, hip-wise. There sure are a lot of ups and downs with this; one day, I'll be thinking, things are actually improving; then 2 days later, it's just as bad as ever. I should give...

    THR Psoas tendonitis post-THR

    Your story is encouraging, @SaraK! My prothesis is metal too; my surgeon said I'd get a MARS (metal artifact reduction sequence) MRI. I guess that helps somewhat? I hope so anyway. My family doctor said he didn't think I'd be able to get an injection until after the MRI, so I'm going to see my...

    THR Arthroscopic hip bursectomy post THR?

    @Nyc1961 How are you doing? Haven't heard from you for a bit. Hope things are better or at least not worse! I'm also wondering if you tried acupuncture; I've been thinking about that myself. Things are the same here. Seeing my surgeon tomorrow to push for an expedited MRI.
