    Hip Arthroscopy Hip Arthroscopy

    I had a very similar experience . . . labrum and bone impingements repaired via arthroscope. Even before surgery I knew I had arthritis and a hip replacement was in my future. The arthroscopy lasted 7 1/2 years!! LOTS of running during those years. Worked out well! The only debate I have I...

    @Layla . . . I can't speak for @JoeKnows . . . but as for me I doubt very seriously if I can go as slow as you suggest! I honestly know that your advice is good but realistically there is virtually no chance I can follow it when I'm feeling pretty good. This morning I walked 5 miles and no...

    Thanks for the note @Layla ! I'm continuing to fight my recovery tooth and nail! I just can't seem to "go slow and easy!" Nothing is seriously hurt and I hate to waste "space" on this forum with my minor, self-inflicted over-use pains! I have no idea why I keep thinking I'm "okay" and then...

    THR JoeKnows Recovery

    Joe, Joe, Joe . . . You, my friend, are almost as stupid as me!!! Of course I have no idea if you have ripped out all the supporting tissues in your hip, or if you have a "minor" over-use pain!! But you and I BOTH have a history of doing too much too soon . . . and neither of us seem to be...

    Thanks @Josephine ! My tip was on my thread. Exercise your good leg before your surgery to build up strength! Not saying building up operation leg isn't valuable . . . but the non-operation leg will be helping you a lot post surgery. Don't forget to strengthen it as much as you possibly...

    @Mojo333 - Thanks for asking! Still taking two steps forward and one step back!! But making progress! @Layla @Josephine I was really hoping that those of us that have been through a THR could have a way to make some suggestions to those facing the surgery. Nothing official from the website...

    There may already be a thread for this . . . if so I hope a Moderator will move this!!! I have a tip for you guys and gals looking at a hip replacement in your future! You have probably received exercise recommendations for your surgery preparation. I know I tended to focus my efforts mostly...

    Woops! One last post. I started thinking about that meniscus knee surgery of mine I posted somewhere on this site. I said it was 10 days till I ran my next marathon (actually walked most!) !! I started doubting my memory. Glad I did! I went back to my running logs and it was actually 16...

    @wolfpakfan - I believe you are right! Those of us who have trained ourselves to ignore pain and push through pain are VERY likely to have some issues recovering from a freakin' little hip replacement!! Hahaha!! I had a knee scoped with a meniscus tear and the day after surgery I was running...

    Hopefully this will be my last post as things are improving steadily and have been since my last setback! I'm walking unsupported about 1 mile per walk, twice a day. Hip feels weak no not much pain at all. I'm going really easy with any PT but I do believe I need to start building more...

    @wolfpakfan - I have a love / hate relationship with my potty chair. Love . . . since it allows me to do what I need to do! But HATE since it is built so small! And living alone moping up "spills" is a pain!!! I believe almost everyone's experience in recovery are different. Not sure why...

    Okay . . . I won't quote what you said to me about expecting too much!!!:heehee: But like you I still have trouble believing I did too much on my first ODIC visit. My next two ODIC visits only lasted 2 days!! For me, I'm finding my ODIC visits are shorter in duration each time!! :rotfl...

    Just a quick update. Had a checkup with my OS last Wednesday and he was very pleased with my xrays. He encouraged me to increase my weight-bearing. I did and pain increased so I reverted again to my best friend . . . my crutch! I thought I could now take care of my paralyzed dog so we drove...

    Dang! My incision sure never looked like that. If it were me I would send the two pictures to my OS . . . Hope it's nothing!

    I'm three weeks into my recovery and for the most part, everything is going "swimmingly!" My only issue is really a minor one, but one I'm not sure how to address it. I only feel any pain is when I am weight-bear on my surgery leg. I'm using a single crutch when I walk but there is that...
