    THR Beating the odds

    I'm hoping someone out there can advise me. It is 9months since my THR and I am still having lots of problems. I was doing ok until December, albeit slowly because of my underlying neurological condition, when I bent to tie a shoelace and heard a grinding,tearing noise from my new hip. Quite...

    THR Beating the odds

    @Josephine Thanks for that. I will try to forget about it but I will still be cautious from now on with the bending, as it hurts and now won't bend as far. If I get caught up in the festive maelstrom and forget, all the very best of luck with your upcoming TKR. A new knee for a new Year!

    THR Beating the odds

    @Josephine HiJosephine, I'm in need of a bit more reassurance today. Yesterday I bent my hip to tie a shoelace and had a horrible grinding, tearing noise come from my hip, followed by quite severe pain. I rested all day yesterday, took extra pain meds and today not quite so bad. But I did call...

    Hi everyone, I'm almost 5 months down the line after right THR and was doing ok in spite of having another, neurological condition complicating things. But in the last week or so I've started having pain again, mostly when I bend the hip or when straightening up from a bending position. Also...

    THR Beating the odds

    Hi to @Hoppy Nanny, @Poppet and @MajorHeidi and thanks for your encouragement. The CMT issue is a pain and I try not to define myself only by my condition. Mostly it works as my friends don't seem to notice it. I didn't want it to become the major issue in my recovery and, thankfully, it hasn't...

    THR Beating the odds

    Hi Josephine, Thanks for your reply and your welcome to Bonesmart. I am so pleased to hear you know about CMT as mostly there are blank looks when I say what's wrong with me, so I usually just fudge the issue and say I have a neurological condition. There isn't much In the way of support for us...
