    THR Steg's recovery

    Thanks for the advice. I've gone to one crutch for the most part as I head towards 7 weeks. I have tried the odd step without but I do limp, so will take the advice above regarding that. I'm finding my good leg and back muscles are weak due to the support from the two crutches so I'm taking it...

    Welcome to the August Hot Shots' 2018 Hip Recovery Club

    Atkinson8 I feel your pain, I also had a bone break during surgery and am not allowed to weight bear for several weeks. It's a pain but will be worth it in the end I'm sure. I'm now just over a month post op and my night time loo visits are down to two or three, one night I only had to go once...

    THR Steg's recovery

    Thank you, yes I am doing well. Wish I could lose the two crutches and go to a stick, but I've git them for a few more weeks I think. I'm afraid I'll end up with a limp as I'm not walking properly on it, but I guess if I do it'll go in time. Much less pain now, although my bum cheek has felt...

    THR Steg's recovery

    I have a question. I've been reading through the articles with interest. I notice you advocate no physical therapy apart from walking, which should be increased gradually. As I am not allowed to weight bear I assume this won't apply to me. I was given some simple exercises to do by the hospital...

    THR Steg's recovery

    Hi all, I had LTHR on 10Th August. My greater Trochanter got broken during the surgery, so this has been wired together and I'm not allowed to weight bear more than 50% at least until my follow up appointment on 4th October. Everything else went OK and there should be no lasting damage if I...
