    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning after ski accident

    Hey Snoopy55, Sorry I’m late to the party! So sorry to hear about your pain problems. Sounds like you’re being very sensible though and taking precautions. You’re still early days in your recovery from major surgery. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I had hip pinning after a fracture just...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Preservation Surgery

    Thank you for your advice @Eman85 It was my left hip too where I had the pinning done. From your message I see that even if it doesn‘t cause you pain at the time and although you may think you’re not doing any damage, you actually could well be. I never had any problems pre-fracture and my...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Preservation Surgery

    Thank you @Eman85 and @Layla Just read some of Tallguy79’s thread. Very interesting and I can definitely relate to the problems he experienced. I think my job could well have contributed to my problems too, when I wasn’t playing tennis, I was at work, still putting lots of pressure on the hip...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Preservation Surgery

    Thank you @Mojo333 Your work environment sounds similar to mine. My employer has been pretty understanding so shouldn’t be an issue to be flexible with my duties. Yes you’re right, icing seems the way to go, even when it’s icy enough outside as it is!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Preservation Surgery

    Thank you for that @Jaycey I will speak to HR and see if I can revert to my desk job. Ironically, part of the reason I changed roles was because my legs were getting a bit stiff and tight when I was sitting down for most of the day, although this is obviously less strenuous on the joints. Maybe...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Preservation Surgery

    Thanks @Jaycey Mainly walking a lot really. Although I have recently changed my role at work and now I am on my feet all day and lifting stuff. Maybe this job isn’t ideal at the moment then. Even though I have been walking a lot anyway, I suppose an increase to standing for 6-8 hours a day for...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Preservation Surgery

    Hi @Mojo333 Thanks, hope you have a great festive period too. Pleased you listened to your body and had a good recovery. Ironically since my last message, I’ve had a bit of pain back in my legs the last few days. The only thing I can put it down to is I wore some jeans that were a bit tight...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Dynamic Hip Screw Recovery

    Hi @ShowMaker Really sorry to hear of your hip surgery at such a young age, I thought I was young when I broke my hip at 31! Please keep us all updated on your progress. Aches and pains are perfectly normal at this stage, you’re still early in your recovery and fresh from major surgery. Tell...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Preservation Surgery

    Hello everybody, I hope you’re all well. :) Been a couple of months since my last post. Just thought I’d update that I tried tennis again and did get pain so am leaving it for the moment. Other than that, I’m at work full-time, doing lots of walking and on my feet all day and don’t really get...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Preservation Surgery

    Many thanks for your great replies Jaycey and Mojo. Sorry for the late reply again, but I have now seen my physio. She said I only need to do a few very light exercises every other day for under 5 minutes, which is a big improvement on what I was doing. She was really happy with my progress and...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Preservation Surgery

    Thank you @Mojo333 and @Jaycey for your great advice. Sorry for the delay in replying. I will take your advice. I am going to see my physio again and query how many reps and exercises I really need to do and spread them out over the day. And yes concentrating on walking the correct way will be...
