    THR Walking for PT after THR Question

    Hello, I am 3.5 weeks post-op for LTHR. In general, I am feeling better each day - which is a good sign and I hope it continues. When I was in the hospital afte the THR, the PT staff went over some simple exercises to strengthen my hip. When I went to my 2 week post-op checkup, my doctor...

    @xtina16405 ...SLEEP! Now that is a timely message. I think woke up about every hour last night, then try to find a comfortable position then back to sleep. So great to hear that you are getting better sleep now. I can't wait! Thanks to you all for the replies. I love hearing your success...

    Thank you for the replies! It is great to hear that my situation in terms of pain and treatment isn't unique. sfbionicat50 - You asked..."I would like to know if anyone out there had any success with prescription anti-inflamatories, steroid injections, or arthroscopy". I have done all three...
