THR Advice for Pre-op Pain Relief?
@Merrimay I bet you can't wait for your operation. I was strongly advised against the steroid injection because it only helps in the earlier stages of osteoarthritis. Poor you. Know exactly what you mean about the pain. Nothing touches it. Can't remember the last day when I had zero pain. Must...- YasmineS

@HollyNY Sorry to hear that you're suffering bone on bone pain too..I tried the heat pad trick, but it's been so warm this summer that you end up overheated and uncomfortable. You're right that the treatment options are limited to joint replacement or pain killers. It would be nice to think...- YasmineS

@beachgal Thank you for taking the trouble to reply in such detail. It's good to hear that others can really understand what you're experiencing. The care of the dogs has had to be completely handed over to others. This is extremely upsetting and In sure you'll know what I mean. I struggle to...- YasmineS

@Jaycey Good advice, and much appreciated. I have a lot of responsibility here with my family and home and I have been trying to ignore the pain. The last few days it has become significantly worse and I can't ignore it. The sticks so far seem to be making it much less painful to move around...- YasmineS

@Jaycey This is very encouraging. I am so happy that you are feeling better. I can hear the bones clunking every step I take and even if I turn around whilst standing getting dried from the shower for example..My daughter nearly threw up today when she heard this noise. The wait is actually not...- YasmineS

@Jaycey Thank you. I have just been to a mobility aid store and bought two sticks. Will practice with them on the patio. I walked to the car literally across the street and that was manageable after being unable to walk even a few feet yesterday.. That sounds awful for you. It must have been...- YasmineS

@Mojo333 Oh my goodness, that must have been a nightmare, but it's so good to hear that you are in a completely different place now. It's become clear to me, since I started talking to others, that this is a very common problem. My son's girlfriend's mother had her hip replacement done a few...- YasmineS

Thank you @Mojo333 Thanks for welcoming me to this group I'm glad I am not alone experiencing osteoarthritis. I had no idea about it prior to my own problem. My grandmother had rheumatoid arthritis and I remember her saying that she would not wish it on her worst enemy. I know this is slightly...- YasmineS

Hi! I'm new here. I am scheduled for a right hip replacement on November 2nd. Can anyone give any advice on pain relief please? My surgeon said I have end-stage osteoarthritis and the bones are rubbing together. Everything is agony. I cannot sit, lie down, walk, stand, bend down or move other...- YasmineS
