THR Hip recovery
I am 10 months post anterior hip replacement. I still have weakness in my anterior thigh. Maybe 4/5. I have not been able to exercise as much as I would like. I have more discomfort than I would like, just enough to keep me from pushing it. The weakness gives me problems with stairs if I am...- Suseliz

THR Knee pain
I had my surgery July 28 of last year. R anterior hip replacement, R knee replacement 3 years ago. I’m struggling a little. My leg feels longer and I feel lopsided. My gait is getting better. I’m up to walking a mile and a half with poles. The poles help with my lopsided feeling. Hip feels achy...- Suseliz

THR Knee pain
I am 4 months post right anterior hip replacement. Still having problems with leg length discrepancy. It’s only 1/8 inch off but feels like an inch. My surgeon referred me to PT for postural restoration. It’s going to take awhile to get in since I am transferring my care due to a move. Not...- Suseliz

THR Knee pain
The sensation of my operative leg being longer is driving me crazy. It’s only 1/8“ on X-ray. It’s hard not to limp. I think the limping wears me out from walking. I know the sensation should wear off. But do I try not to limp? Is there anything else I should be doing? I’m almost 10 weeks out.- Suseliz

THR Knee pain
I am soon to be 6 weeks post right anterior hip replacement. My hip pain is manageable with Tylenol. My energy is on the lower side but I probably push it too much every day. I have noticed my right knee (which was replaced 3 years ago) is bothering me more than my hip. Does this make any sense...- Suseliz

THR Knee pain
Creampuff, my hemoglobin was down to 9 from 13. The hospitalist suggested I take a prenatal vitamin. I think I also wasn’t tolerating the iron in that so I stopped it. I’m sure things will get better, but I’m not a good patient. I am a retired NP, used to taking care of everyone else.- Suseliz

THR Knee pain
I’m a 4 1/2 weeks out from my right anterior total hip replacement. BoneSmart was a lifesaver for me after my knee replacement almost 3 years ago. I never joined the forum at that time but found it extremely helpful. I had help for 2 weeks, then I was alone. I was a relatively new widow at that...- Suseliz

THR Right Hip Replacement in 8 days...question on using the bathroom
If you have the option, just have a comfort height toilet installed. My husband installed a comfort height toilet 3 days after my surgery. What a difference it made! Then I just made sure my walker was locked and used it to help myself stand.- Suseliz
