    Denn, I don’t post much, but your situation resonates with me because I too was so concerned with my bend because my surgeon and PT were drilling that into my head. You can see from your recent picture that your knee is still quite swollen (reason for all the tight feeling) and still very much...

    THR 2Kittens' Recovery Thread

    2Kittens, so glad to see a lot of your pain is gone and you really seem to be on the road to recovery! I'm a redhead with fair skin myself and I most definitely saw that rosy glow in both my hip surgical leg and my knee surgical leg with my replacements. I first attributed some of it to whatever...

    Hello @GibsonGirl1948! I'm sorry to see you are still having trouble with that nightly nagging pain. I experienced that somewhat with my knee whenever I would slide my leg off of the pillow during the night. It definitely was not ready to lay flat on the bed while sleeping and it would "tell" me...

    Hi, hippie friend! Just wanted to touch base to see if those nightly pains are gone or are still giving you trouble? Hopefully, they are a pain in the past.

    Good morning to all the BoneSmart cheerleaders! Thanks for checking in and I definitely feel like I'm headed in the healing direction. Woke up several times throughout the night but it would still qualify as one of the best nights sleep I've had in months. Nausea is gone and even store bought...

    Thank goodness I can head over to the recovery side now! Surgery yesterday at 7:30 and out the door by. 4:00. Surgery went well, still had nausea/vomiting but not as severe as last surgery in May. Making sure I'm taking anti-nausea med w/pain med (tramadol/Tylenol route). Few Oxy I took didn't...

    @Jaycey, hopefully, our shared collapsed hips and farm work don't go hand-in-hand with each other. I'm hoping genetics played a bigger part in it than my work on the farm. Thank you for your kind words.

    Gulp, surgery is scheduled tomorrow for my new painfree (I hope) hip. So thankful even with Covid shutdowns that I'm able to get this done even if I am required to do it outpatient. My surgeon stated Friday that he would classify it as a collapsed hip, which explains why I'm so immobile due to...

    @Cococay, we are surgery "twins" on the 15th, however mine is on my hip. Had TKR in May of this year so I know your nerves are on edge. Within 24 hours of my knee replacement I distinctly remember thinking that I spent way too much time/energy/apprehension/worry getting prepared to go into...

    Oh, @GibsonGirl1948, I'm sorry to hear of your new nagging pain at night. Even though you've had a great recovery so far, it really breaks our confidence when we hit a snag and we question if we're still on the recovering path. (Am I doing something wrong? Is this pain normal? Am I doing too...
