Thanks so much Layla. I really do appreciate being able to share here and the support. My seroma is approximately 3.5” in diameter (although it could have increased or decreased since the imaging).

THR Amy13may's Recovery
Well after blood work and nuclear scans they are telling me that I do not have an infection. I do have a confirmation of a seroma of 8 cm in my THR joint.

THR Amy13may's Recovery
Update. I saw a different doctor today and he says that I have partial femoral nerve damage. Good news is it’s partial which means it will heal. Said for me to expect 4-6 months for recovery. I’m swimming and walking inside the pool. Taking my pain meds and trying to be loving to myself...- Amy13may

THR Amy13may's Recovery
I’m 6 weeks post THR and can’t move my leg vertically at all. I have had worsening groin pain escalating over the last 2 weeks and in agony most days. My surgeon prescribed PT 3xs a week and walking 5,000 steps and I’m struggling. Today I saw him at the office for a post op and he actually told...- Amy13may
