    Here's another newbie, just had consult with OS

    I got an epidural along with the general anesthesia...was no worries. You're gonna feel much better when you're time comes. First few weeks are a little rough from the surgery and swelling, but each day it gets better and better.

    You guys will feel mountains better -- just had my LTHR on 18 November 2013 --- 11 weeks post-op and doing so well. This is after unsuccessful hip scope in 2005, and I ground the femoral head down to a shaved off mushroom cap. Just follow all your directions, take it one moment at a time..and...

    Heidi - I noticed in your signature that your DDH was not discovered during your diagnosis. I am hearing about this a lot these days. Would've helped me out over the last 9 years to know it, when the Left Hip Scope didn't work and left me feeling worse than the labral tear did…Took them 7.5...

    Good for you - my PT is really putting me through my paces, but I did 25 minutes on the elliptical for my first workout, and all my other exercises before PT this evening. I feel great!

    Thanks dougie! Had PT tonight, and am able to do a lot of exercises. I am further along in the PT world than I thought I would be. Doing great. The active release and the PT set my sacral joint right back. Still have to wear a lift in my shoe now, since my surgical leg was longer (somewhere...

    I am just about 11 weeks post-op and I feel really good. I've been gimping around since 2005, when I had a left hip arthroscopy that went wrong. Finally led to me walking bone on bone, until the doctor who did my LTHR said my femoral head looked like a ground-down mushroom cap, and wondered...
