    THR June 10 THR Trochanter Fracture?

    I am two months out from surgery and feel great as long as I don't overdo it. I walked a fast mile yesterday with my daughter and now have pain mostly in my quad area and groin. I am wondering if others experience recurring pain in this area with exercise.

    THR June 10 THR Trochanter Fracture?

    Thank you! I am doing much better. I took a long and too fast walk with my daughter yesterday and am sore but otherwise feeling pretty good!

    Hip Infection* I'm back home

    So so sorry @Linda1 to hear about your difficulties and hope you have relief soon. I apologize if you mentioned this in another thread, but does your OS know the source/cause of the infection?

    THR RGS's First THR June 25

    I've had in home PT for 4 weeks per my OS orders. I did find it helpful overall. The PT was very gentle. I don't know that I would have gone out for PT due to Covid and that all the PT places near me are large practices with crowded rooms.

    My OS suggested I use a recumbent stationary bike for rehab. Since I won't be able to go to the gym for awhile I am thinking of purchasing one. Does anyone have a bike they love?

    THR June 10 THR Trochanter Fracture?

    I am feeling much better today. I am off the oxy and hope to use it sparingly if at all moving forward. My pain is minimal and mostly around my incision. Although I had anterior surgery, I was givent posterior hip precautions for 3 weeks due to a damaged gluteus medius. Today is my last day of...

    THR June 10 THR Trochanter Fracture?

    I agree @Jaycey. The PT was in a chatty mood and probably needed a better filter. I feel much better after a day of rest and think that it was a soft tissue problem.

    THR June 10 THR Trochanter Fracture?

    This is so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to share this. I am feeling better today--much less pain without the oxy. I was told to "stay ahead of the pain" and I think this made me take more oxy than I actually needed and caused my extreme nausea. I'm thinking instead I'll use it as...

    THR How to figure out the optimal medication schedule?

    Thank you! Also, I find it odd that sometimes I take the oxy and have no problem at all and then by the third dose (5mg) I begin feeling sick.

    THR How to figure out the optimal medication schedule?

    Thank you that's very good advice. I think I had little food and lots of liquid when I became sick. I do have Zofran and took it after I felt ill. It didn't seem to do much. Perhaps I should take it beforehand and see if that prevents nausea.

    THR How to figure out the optimal medication schedule?

    All the best @PinkPeony! I am a little over two weeks out from surgery and found the entire experience much easier than I expected if that is any comfort. I have never had surgery before, so I was quite worried. The worst was recovering from the anesthesia and dealing with pain meds.

    THR How to figure out the optimal medication schedule?

    Did/do you have nausea with the oxy? If so how did you manage it.

    THR June 10 THR Trochanter Fracture?

    Thank you! I have gone back to my original schedule for pain meds and the pain has improved quite a bit, although I feel quite nauseous and a bit out of it from the pain meds. I am taking tylenol, diclofenac, and 5 mg oxy every 6 hours which completely controls the pain but makes me feel awful...

    THR June 10 THR Trochanter Fracture?

    Thank you! Surgery was on June 10th. My OS requires PT so not sure I can step away completely but will ice and take it easy. Also, I don't have PT again until Tuesday and will cancel if I still have pain. I appreciate your advice.

    THR June 10 THR Trochanter Fracture?

    I had right anterior hip replacement a little over two weeks ago. I am on crutches for a month due to a weakened gluteus medius. After my surgery, Dr told my husband that my hip was worse than he expected and that he had to remove bone spurs. I won't see my Dr. for post surgery visit until mid...
