So I have lurked around these forums for a while. Quickly, I’m a 36 yo male with history of severe hip dysplasia that wasn’t discovered until I was 32. Got bad enough where signicant qol issues and pain daily (and nightly).
Well pulled the trigger today and in recovery. Didn’t go exactly as planned as I was getting a spinal and no foley. Post op X-ray looked good with good mobility and then additional after skin closed and it was an extra 15 mm. He was trying to give me a little length but not this much! Went back to OR immediately and changed cup it to give it a better offset. And I then got tubed and a foley
So longer op but shouldn’t affect implant at all and I guessed fix it now! He said it was way worse than X-ray indicated it was completely trashed. So having a lot of muscle pain 4 hours after op but hip pain is gone! Already got up and walked a couple times and ice machine (game ready, highly recommend). Only taken 1 pain pill so far but probably should do it again before going to sleep
Goal is to get out tomorrow if all goes well! Thanks for the forum and all the support. Will keep you all updated
