I have tentatively scheduled my surgery for 15 MArch 2023. I am going to get one last opinion, from a doctor I had seen previously- wasnt a big fan after the terrible cortizone shot he gave me, but he is a good surgeon and he did my friend's hip and my friend is very happy two years on.
I do have question that maybe one of you could answer. Before you had your hip done, did you experience pain in any other part of your body? The past few weeks, it seems that things have gotten exponentially worse, not so much for the right hip that needs to be replaced, but in the other left hip and ankle. MY back has always bothered me on and off and I know I have mild degenerative issues, but its seems like somehow in the past few weeks all parts of my both hips, not just the right, are hurting. This is devastating, in addition to the hip. As we talked about I feel so terrible a lot of the time I feel like I anticipating- that is, not wanting the pain to hit either hip, so Im tensing and not moving or doing much exercise. I was able to ski fine last season.
I realize that skiing is not a necessity, as are lots of other sports and daily workouts,but they are a HUGE part of my life, a guess what I am asking is that did any pf you feel that your hip/knee contributed to other parts of your body hurting, and if so, how did you deal with this. Again, this isnt just skiing, right now even a 5 mile walk or bikeride- something a year ago would have even been an afterthought, would now end in extreme pain in both hips, not just the one that needs replaced.
Thoughts? Anyone else experience this?
