    Revision THR Precautions after revision surgery/second THR

    @FranQ So sorry this happened to you and I hope you will have a great recovery from now on Yes, my surgeon dropped the no more than 90 degree bending restriction for life on me at my 5 week follow up. I was quite devastated and depressed. Since then, I have been talking to numerous hip...

    Same here, the OS I saw at KU preferred post approach. Said chance of permanent nerve damage higher with anterior approach. Good luck to you and your new hip;) Sent from my iPhone

    I also still have dysplasia and OA in my left hip. Funny thing was, I was always told that my left hip was the bad one but I really only ever had pain in the right one. Not to keen on having this one done any time soon[emoji6] I am impressed that you could run. Just curious though. Where you...

    Hi everyone, I must say that i immensely enjoy this forum but the more I read, the more questions I have. ( I have plenty of time to read right now [emoji6]) How do you train yourself to walk without a limp? I have walked off and on with a limp for at least 20 years. Limp has gotten really bad...

    THR Sleepless in recovery

    I can so relate to this. Been a side sleeper most of my life and now 6 weeks after right THR and I can only tolerate sleeping on my nonoperative side for 2 hours or so without cramping. To sleep on my back, I still have to put a pillow under my right leg to feel comfortable. I don't really...
