    Hip Infection My New Hip_2

    @Jaycey , @Josephine Just had the hospital call me, pre op on the 21st August with the Aspiration Op on the 4th August. A question for those who've had this Op or experience of the op; What were you like afterwards? Do you think I'll be fit enough to drive and possibly teach on the 5th?

    Thanks @Jaycey I'll keep you all up to date, the first step is to take a sample to culture, they're planning that for the 4th September under a mild anaesthetic. The forecast to start the replacement is January or February next year.

    THR My New Hip

    I don't know where the time has gone, it's now 7 months since my THR. I've just returned from Egypt after being on a Red Sea live aboard for the last week. Diving up to 4 or 5 times a day but being a little conservative and not doing every dive if I didn't feel like it. The hip is doing...

    THR On the other side

    You could try a good quality moisturiser to help with the itching, I use a little E45 cream if mine bothers me. I don't have any pain in the back of the hip but I occasionally get a 'reminder' in my thigh when i put weight on it after sitting for a while (I'm nine weeks tomorrow). How bad is the...
