    THR not what I expected

    Hi Mr. Fun, I'm so sorry you have this trouble and that your surgery was not satisfying. I sympathize with you. If you can't put socks and shoes on, what do you do? Are you dependent on help by others to assist with putting socks and shoes on? Are you working again now? Do you drive? As far as...

    THR Constanze's recovery diary

    Yes, I do. Last Sunday, I did a half-marathon in 2 hours 20 minutes. I'm also planning on participating in Frankfurt marathon again on 29 October - hopefully a bit faster than last year (that was 5 1/2 hours). You can keep your fingers crossed :)

    THR I'm on the other side!!

    @newguy - guess what. I'm also a slow runner, but a long-distance runner. I've had my new hip for 8 years and have done a few marathons and half-marathons ever since, and I'm just fine - didn't wear out my hip. Last year I did the Frankfurt Marathon in 5 1/2 hours, and last weekend, I did a...

    THR I am the Storm

    Hi @danelady , Your sketches are beautiful and I think you've definitely got talent. Great that you've been commissioned to draw for people. Yes, maybe this will come to a new career. Good luck. And I'm also glad your hip is a bit better, and that you put your foot down and refused to have that...

    THR not what I expected

    Hi @Mr.fun. It seems such a shame. It looks as if they did mess up your OP, or could heterotopic ossification have such drastic effect such as not being able to put socks on or reaching your sun-glasses in the glove compartment of the car? I'm not familiar with heterotopic ossification. It seems...

    THR not what I expected

    Hi @Mr.fun , I'm happy to read an update from you, and that the pain is subsiding a little. I hope you'll get answers from your appoint in August and an MRI appointment, soon. Are you working again, yet? Take care Constanze

    You're absolutely right. It's unacceptable. Keep on fighting for getting better!

    THR not what I expected

    Did your doctor at that June appointment not address the heterotopic ossification? If so, what does he suggest? I can't believe they just ignore it. What kind of medical professionals are they? I'm still wishing you that you'll get better one day. This is unacceptable. :snork::heehee:Please...

    Sounds good @danelady . I'm happy for you. And no mor dislocations, either. I think you can do without them. :) :-) (: . There's been a heatwave in Germany, too :SUNsmile:. Then, after a couple of thunderstorms, it has cooled down a bit but it's still warm. Hugs Constanze

    THR not what I expected

    Hi poor @Mr.fun , that's not normal. Looks as though they bungled it up honestly. And still being off work - not good. You might need a revision. But I'm a lay person and can't judge. Lets see what those people say, who are in the know. Do keep us up-to-date. Best wishes anyway - Constanze

    "physio says I should not be happy with these results": Hey hey @Mr.fun - I'd agree with that. Get a second opinion, quick.

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Triathlete with Broken Hip Needs Advice!

    Sorry about your accident, @Reno Cyclist . However, I'm sure you'll run again, if anyone tells you otherwise, forget all about it:). I finished a half Ironman after my hip replacement and two full marathons. In 2019, I broke my tibia head, strangely enough, on the same side as my hip replacement...

    THR not what I expected

    Hi @Mr.fun , I've read your posts and some of the answers more thoroughly, and I wasn't aware what MD involved. Sorry for that. Now I've read up about it a little bit and understand more. I hope this will be addressed and that you will receive the appropriate treatment. I wish you all the best...

    THR not what I expected

    Hi @Mr.fun , I'm sorry you're still in pain and can't use your leg 100%. I'm not one of those people who ghost the forum. I still write on here occasionally. My left hip replacement was in 2015. I stayed in hospital for 7 days. I had physiotherapy in hospital. Then I went to a rehab centre for 2...

    THR I am the Storm

    @danelady , I agree with Layla who said seek a second opinion, and a possible third one. When I had my hip replacement in 2015. I sought 3 opinions. I did not feel at ease with the first 2 surgeons and opted for the third one at an orthopaedic hospital in Wiesbaden and am very satisfied. Never...
