    Change email address

    I need to change my email address as I’ve stopped using the one you have for me. But when I change on 'account detail' I get a message to say this address is already in use. Yes - by me !

    THR Now 3½ yrs after THR - having some aches/pains.

    Hi, Josephine. I just saw your response. No, it doesn't radiate down my leg. But yesterday I noticed that it didn't start out in the location I wrote above. It started on my side at R1F x B & C. That surprised me, but as the day went on, it was much more noticeable in the area I originally...

    THR Now 3½ yrs after THR - having some aches/pains.

    Thank you Pumpkin for your kind wishes. I have gotten an appt. w/my surgeon for next Tuesday 9/23. My Goodness Chris - you've been through it! You must have the most positive attitude possible. Thanks Jamie - the location of the pain is in the back: L3B x B is the closest. What I'd like to...

    THR Now 3½ yrs after THR - having some aches/pains.

    Hello all. Many thanks for still being here. This forum is irreplaceable. My story: I had bi-lateral THRs in Jan. 2011. Things have been going great, and I felt restored to my pre-hip problems self. Now the last few days I've noticed that I am having aches/pains (mild-moderate) in my L...

    THR bone density scan

    Hello fellow hippies. Class of 2011 here. I thought I'd pop back on here with a question that's just come up for me. I searched the site for it but nothing displayed. It's about that time for me to have another bone density scan, as I have osteopenia and like to track my bone situation...

    Class of 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015 Hippies

    I just hopped on here again to see about doing yoga - now that it's been 2.5 yrs since my bi-lateral THRs. I saw this thread for 2011 hippies and want to chime in. I love the idea of this! :iagree: Hello to everyone once again! :puppysmooze: Except for a bit of pain from over-exertion...

    It's been 2 years and now pain.

    Sorry to be so long getting back in touch. But my immediate problem has gone away and I guess it became less urgent. Thankfully. The pain I posted about went away about a week afterwards. But I went ahead and kept the MD appointment anyway. It turned out that if I hadn't contacted them, they...

    It's been 2 years and now pain.

    Yes, Josephine, I'll be happy to. BTW, I was able to get an appt. for next Tuesday. The aching area is L1x1 at back mostly and a little on L side. Any thoughts? I'm wondering if itcould possibly be some arthritis that's developing at the site? Does that happen? I say that because the...

    It's been 2 years and now pain.

    Hello, everyone. Although I used this board daily during my pre-op and immediate post op periods, as I healed and recovered and felt like new, I gradually drifted away. Now I am worried about what is going on, but again, so thankful, you guys are here. I am 67 and had bi-lateral hip...

    healing process at standstill?

    Thank you Josephine. Welcome back! Hope you had a nice break from everything and enjoyed yourself. Yes, in a previous post you did mention the screws but not my specific question for this thread which was related to if they can come loose or move around or if a person is able to "feel" them...

    healing process at standstill?

    I am wondering why my Left THR would be giving me trouble still, when my right THR feels so natural - like it's always been a part of me. But as I've written and read on here many times - don't compare sides! So let's focus on my left hip. This hip has the same type of prosthesis as my...

    confused about desensitization massage

    Thank for all your responses. I like hearing from the voices of experience! To answer Josephine's question, this type of massage is on my PT sheet to do 5 min., 2x/day. Two different PT's have tod me it is a good thing to do. The goal is to soften the scar tissue. I read (on the internet -full...

    confused about desensitization massage

    I just have a couple of questions about my home PT routine. It concerns the desensitization massage. I'm not sure how to do it exactly and I've looked it up on the internet and find many different approaches to it, depending on where scar tissue is located, etc. :rolleyespink: But here are my...

    exercises in water

    It is great to hear from all water-exercise enthusiasts! :THUMB: I, too, am a member of that club - have been for 10+ years! I stopped my aquacize about 3 wks prior to hip surgery. I just couldn't do it anymore - too much pain aftrwards. :cry4: Now, I am getting ready to return. PT says 2...
