    THR THR on 3-21, right surgical leg is almost 1/2 inch longer than the left

    I had my left hip replaced on Thursday 3/20. My doctor stopped by before the surgery and told me that he would be purposefully extending my leg slightly so that when he replaced my other hip later in the year, the numbers would be exact and my measurements would be perfect. It freaked me out a...

    THR Had a TKR; now need THR

    Hi Jacob I feel your pain. At the end of 2022 I had 2TKR’s eight weeks apart. It was miserable and took me a year to really feel myself myself. I regret doing them so close, but the second was covered completely by my insurance and if I waited, I would’ve had to pay all over again. After I got...

    TKR Hip & Lower Back Pain

    The strangest thing happened! I posted that I was feeling unsteady for the last several months & my knee felt like it was giving way. I swear it’s like I wrote it and everything shifted! My cortisone shots in my both bursas have helped immensely. Maybe that was causing the unsteadiness. But...
