    THR Severe Fall - Four fractures

    Hi folks-it’s been awhile since my gruesome fall with the four fractures. Ok, I bought Bombas gripper slipper plus gripper Bombas socks. They are not the cheapest, but they are good. Oddly the Dexa scan was not as atrocious as I thought it might be. However, after weeks non weight bearing, dcc...

    Leg discrepancy causing knee pain

    I am going to look this up. I too have lld plus major recent fractures from a fall in May, I did get a specially made orthotic done by an incredibly dually licensed pt and pedorthist He studied my gait meticulously, But yes the lld did put stress on other knee. .

    THR Severe Fall - Four fractures

    Yes indeed thanks. My most recent rheumatologist ( 35 yrs experience) did a bit of “rediagnosing”. My ANA has always been positive with a fine dense speckled pattern. The titer s high but not dreadfully so. So the possibility is forme fruste lupus- which is typically diagnosed when some other...

    THR Severe Fall - Four fractures

    Oh what a quandary. My former surgeon’s sheet says LIFE. I have three welts and online doc thinks it might be a true allergy. Odd to develop this at 73. But i wonder if they are bites.. I am super sensitive to mosquito bites! I guess off to allergist I will go… thanks!

    THR Severe Fall - Four fractures

    I know the topic has been debated to no end. My old ortho (whom I no longer see) indicated that I absolutely need dental antibiotic prophylaxis prior to cleaning for LIFE. My dentist also wants this. I took the recommended amount of Amoxicillin today and got a bit of a mild rash. This is the...

    THR Surgery scheduled

    This is great that you will have a class! And indeed as a poster here said, the PT department will do just that-check you out first. (I had no class and was not seen by PT, but fortunately had skilled RNs with experience). My advice: be your own best advocate. Get actual phone numbers of any...

    THR Right hip done, "Fred" is on board.

    Thanks. Yea I had a very old school M.D. that my PCP referred me to for the “ investigation “ of the General Anesthesia fiasco. He was very interested in the matter and gave major recommendations for any future anesthesiologist. My CPK was off the roof, I had myoglobinurua, and my Potassium was...
