    THR Why does unoperated leg hurt?

    5 months post right THR. Doing ok. Walking without crutches, driving short distances. Try to keep moving as sitting seems to make me stiffen. One problem is discomfort in unoperated leg, mainly front of thigh. Had right TKR in February 2023, so new right leg in a way!

    THR Why does unoperated leg hurt?

    Well I am 2 weeks post op. Had stitches removed Thursday. Not doing too bad. Trying to walk about in house and outside a bit. Having a kind of shower with a board on the bath for me to sit on. This feels as though recovery will be easier than the TKR in February.

    THR Why does unoperated leg hurt?

    I had right THR Thursday. Home today. It seems to hurt more than the hospital but I was trying to sit and it was awkward. Any tips for recovery will be appreciated. Had right TKR in February. Not sure where to start this thread.

    THR TKR now Hip

    Thanks! I hadn't thought about MRI with knee implant! I have stiffness in the right hip and back. Have been doing pre-surgery Hip exercises with Versus Arthritis. They concentrate on quads and glutes. Will let you know how I get on.

    TKR 16 weeks post right TKR

    Hi. How do you adjust your gait to walk straight!. I had a wonky leg before the knee surgery. Now it is straight, but I think my body possibly thinks it is still wonky. It went out an an angle below the knee.

    I had right TKR 6 weeks ago. Progressing slowly. I have arthritis in right hip and surgeon did knee first as that was most painful. No pain in hip. Now the hip is aching a bit and I don’t know whether it is my walking gait with crutches, or whether it is arthritis. I see the surgeon at the end...
