    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    Hi, Becky, Still stuck in neutral. My history is quite complex. I have FAI secondary to SCFE as a child. Left hip replaced and failed FAI hip arthroscopy for right hip, but "waiting" to see if improvements. Next decision on right hip December. Left hip groin pain (THR already) will be...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    Hi, Becky! Thanks for your positive message! I have tried that, but I find it most difficult when we have so many differentiated learning objectives going on while our classrooms are so small. Allowing pupils to get up is ideal for me, but not so much for the health and safety. I am setting...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    Hi, everyone! Sorry it has taken me so long since my appointment on the 12th to update this thread. Regarding not being able to do a straight leg lift after total hip replacement, I seem to be making some progress. I can now do a few "difficult" straight leg lifts. So this is good! I still...

    Thanks for your reply. That sounds interesting. What is OA? Is this osteoarthritis? Thanks :-)

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    Hi, folks! I apologise in advance for moaning. Yesterday and today have been difficult days. I had my FAI surgery on my right hip. Surgeon thinks it went well. That was 4 weeks ago. He said I could weight bear after 2 weeks, but I am finding it difficult to do so, even in the house! My...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    I will keep you updated. I am waiting for a date for my arthroscopic osteochondroplasty of right hip any day. Regarding the groin pain, I will have more information when I see surgeon then. I haven't walked, apart from in the house, without crutches for nearly 1 year now. I tried to walk...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    Hi, Sharon, Yes, this is where the pain is centered. In addition to where the pain is, I continue to be unable to lift my leg when flat on bed or floor. I never had this pain (or in ability to lift my leg from flat position) before the THR with femoral nerve block. Is this a typical symptom...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    Hi, Barbie, I'm not sure if I had anterior approach. I'm guessing not since my incision is on my side??? Yes, the injection (steroid combined anesthetic) is a diagnostic test, but it could be a treatment as well. You just never know until you have it done. It's terrible that a person at a...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    Hi, all! I have seen my surgeon and following ultrasound examination and guided anesthetic/steroid injection, it doesn't look like any impingement of tendons. I had the most unusual dream last night. And I don't know why I never thought of this before when awake, but I dreamed that it was the...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    Regarding the Diclofenac Sodium, I take a total of 150 mg per day. This is what is perscribed and I was told this is the maximum amount to take. The Amitriptyline I was told, is an effective pain killer (so said my GP), so she increased it. I must admit, the number of times I wake up due to...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    1. I take 30 mg of Amitriptyline (nights). I take 75 mg of Diclofenac Sodium 2x a day. I have Nefopam as well (90 mg. up to 3 times a day, but I don't take that as I don't find it does much). I can't take any of the other opiates as they cause constipation. 2. I have never tried icing it...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    Unfortunately it is the National Health Service, so the date is as good as it's going to get. I am a teacher, so am up and down a lot, more than my legs would like! I am also a mother of a 3 year old. So, never a dull moment. My activity levels are low though, as I don't walk anywhere. I...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    I have tried it and it is fine. I have an appointment with my surgeon on the 6th of February. I have had bursitis before, and eventually it got less painful, but this is something terrible. They have never stopped me from lifting my leg. I have read about iliopsoas impingement and wonder if...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    I guess it was good :-) It didn't hurt at all. It wasn't a sore good, if you know what I mean. It just felt like a healthy stretch should. lol
