    THR Pain when walking

    You may be right but I've read hip flexor pain is common after anterior surgery and walking is as important as stretching. I was hoping others who have experienced this type of pain could give me encouragement and assurance that it's only temporary. Up until a year ago I was a 3 plus mile a day...

    THR Pain when walking

    It has been 3 months since anterior hip replacement. I have been walking 1 to 2 miles almost daily for the last month. I make sure I stretch throughout the walk. Hip and buttock pain sets in at around 1/8 mile so I stretch and sit for a couple of minutes. When I restart walking the pain is gone...

    THR Pain when walking

    It's been 12 days since LTHR. I have been doing great, however this itching is making me crazy. And of all places it is on my stomach on the surgery side. Why my stomach? Has anybody experienced this? And why? Thank you ahead of time. VVtory

    THR Pain when walking

Two doses in taken with Reglan and I was absolutely miserable, "stoned", dizzy and sick .I never really did feel any significant pain so I'm guessing the oxy was an unnecessary drug for my personal recovery journey. Everyone, (staff at the...

I ended up taking two gabapentins and finally went to sleep.i have always taken the "gaba" for occasional RLS, it's a miracle worker for sure. So, that being said, I'm going to presume it is nerve damage, whether permanent...
