    I only ice once in the evening. It makes it feel frozen though. Would icing give me a temporary pain relief? Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    This is my xray a day after the surgery. Does it look like if there was a problem? My leg lengthened about 5 cm. Massive difference. Would the lengthening cause thigh pain do you think? I am petite so my legs are slim but I doubt it is anything to do with me feeling it tight. I am exactly 3...

    How would I know if the stiffness on very top of my front thigh is due to stem problems or a part of healing? I can not put my weight on my operated leg on the stairs when I go upstairs :( it almost feels like stem is too tight at the femur head :( Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    Back from my gp! He said that my wound healed nicely and I can put weight on my leg without any problem is a good sign. He said that I am still in early stages of recovery. He didn't think that I have got Trochanteric bursitis! Lets see what will this week bring. There has always been...

    Has anyone experienced Trochanteric bursitis after THR? I am not sure if I have to call my gp about it. I have got a small lump on my upper back where the femur head is. Also my top front muscle is really tight feels like a rock. Is this condition permanent? Is there anything I can do to treat...
