    Hi @Gidget.....how are you doing? Hope your hospital stay was short.....are you out of the boot now and did it do the trick? Osteoporosis eh?....bummer! I've got it in my spine and wrist....a little bonus of my coeliac disease. I take risedronate, once a week.....hoping that now I'm g/f (and...

    Bilateral THR 2 steps forward, 1 back

    Hi @Gusteenie ......glad to hear you're doing well......there seems to be no way of estimating progress when it goes in fits and starts, I'm impressed with how your doing after the 'both at once' thing. Have a great Christmas and hope it continues to get better and better :thumb:

    THR Frustrated

    Hi Bebe.....how are you doing? If you find anything that works with the ITB let me know.....mine doesn't seem to bother me much when I'm walking, but stabs me like crazy sometimes when I'm sitting.....maybe it's trying to tell me to do more walking! As for your knee, I know you said you're...

    THR Cassidy's hopalong recovery<

    Hi @Cassidy....I don't get on the forum very often these days but thought I'd do a quick update on as many of my friends as I can before Christmas. Glad to hear you're toddling along reasonably well, sympathise with you and everyone else whose knee is lining up for their moment in the...

    THR THR - 2 years I think

    it's such a shame that you have to jump thro hoops to get anywhere with health services.....stress on top of the original problem, not good. Unfortunately it's no different over here, nor, I imagine, anywhere else in the world....too many people, not enough money. Glad you managed to see your...

    THR BeBe finally!!!

    Hope your run-up to Christmas is going well @BeBe and you're not overdoing it.....these hips, backs and knees are not very forgiving! Take care and let us know if you let the acupuncturist loose with her sharp things :scaredycat:

    THR BeBe finally!!!

    @BeBe you must be wondering what to deal with first, hip, knee or spine....more than any one person should have to deal with at the same time! That's very brave of you to foster a puppy with that going on....they're not exactly known for being laid back and low maintenance! Is she/he still...

    ugh @BeBe ......isn't it infuriating! Having 2 hips in one year is bad enough, but at least you think you're going to be back to 'normal'.......not! I didn't want to think that my knee was getting in on the act....persuaded myself it was tight soft tissue from the hip op that was referring to...

    Hullo Ursula and Marlene....hope you are coping with the English winter now, and the colder weather isn't making your shoulder any more painful. I work with a lady who has been complaining about her shoulder for years but won't even think about getting it done, even tho when I bullied her into...

    THR Frustrated

    maybe postpone it for a bit? We've just had torrential rain, rip-roaring winds and it's actually got chilly today :shrug: I'm trying to be really patient with my poor hips....having read BS voraciously I'm well aware of how long the healing can take. However, my first hip is now 9months old...

    THR Frustrated

    lol @Mojo333 ......I think 'dance' is not quite the word that describes me at the moment.....unless 'fairy elephant ' is part of the description :heehee: that can only be applied metaphorically! However, there is still time for me to perfect my Swan Lake.....when I stop and really think about...

    thank you @SaraK (love your cat such a quizzical expression!).....I'm thinking 2018 will be remembered as the 'Year of the Joints'......grateful to have the opportunity to get them repaired but I'm so over it now! Unfortunately there comes a time of life when if you're not sorting out your own...

    THR Frustrated

    Sorry I've not done a recent report....my attention has been completely on English forums looking for info and advice on care of the elderly, as my FiL looks to be having further problems. For someone who'd not been on a forum before I joined BS just over a year ago, I've now become a forum...

    No surgery for me

    Hi @Gidget....how's your foot these days...hope it's feeling much better. Have the docs said anything more about the injury/treatment? Hope you're able to get out and about more now you have some funding and that snazzy wheelchair....let us know how you're getting on :wave:

    Mojo maybe you're atoning for something bad in a former existence......doesn't sound like you've been selected for the 'lying on a couch being fed grapes by a handsome young man' sort of life.....go on, admit it, you'd be bored to death! Hope you get a chance to chill this weekend...

    THR THR - 2 years I think

    lovely to hear good news about Tony, Ursula.....I remember reading a report that the happiness of parents depends on the happiness level of their least happy child and I reckon for 'child' you can also substitute 'friend'. Marlene seems to be doing the meandering path of recovery....we're all...

    Hi @Bevlah.....yes variations on the hockey puck seem to be quite common......we hippies seem to be quite aware of it, but surgeons appear to be (blissfully) ignorant....perhaps they should try their own op! I can only think that it's a soft tissue thing, so it's out of their domain. My scars...

    Hi @Alitm ....how is leftie holding up? Sorry, I've been AWOL for so long I've lost track of everyone.....you're all so chatty there are pages of post I've missed! Not much longer for you now, then a little bit longer and you'll back with your horses.....loved the photos....when I was about 10...
