    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    Thank you so much for the advice and support! I'm doing a lot better now! At this point, I feel like I never had a hip replacement, and I am pivoting the right leg with no problem. ROM seems to be back to what it used to be! My leg kind of gets a little fatigued after walking more than a mile...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    Thanks for sharing the chart, it's super helpful! I'm finally done with precautions, but doc said I need to be gentle when breaking precautions. I didn't get a chance to ask him, but when do you think it would be safe pivoting with the operated leg when walking? My other leg is starting to hurt...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    Fortunately, I don't give a rat's patootie about skiing or running marathons! I could definitely survive without them in my life lol Dislocation and hardware complications are my biggest fears. When I fell last year and dislocated my hip, it was the worst moment ever and I had never cried so...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    Great, I'm glad to hear that! I'm so eager to have my life back. I feel so much better! Just need to follow hip precautions and use crutches for another couple of weeks per doc's orders!

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    My surgeon actually didn't tell me after surgery. I was too drugged on pain meds to remember to ask. I will ask him in the follow-up appointment.. Before the surgery, he told me that it was less than 5 mm and that it wasn't significant. He said she would try his best to resolve it. 17 mm is a...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    Yes, I'm almost two weeks post-op and I feel great! I'm walking so much better than I ever did after my hip pinning! Unfortunately, my doc did prescribe hip precautions. I'm trying to follow them because I don't think it would be wise to ignore my doc. I just have some incision-site pain and...

    Oh, I see. So were you able to put on socks and undergarments on your own?

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    Thanks @Layla I'm excited and anxious! Just wanted to ask you, after your posterior THR, why did your doctor not prescribe hip precautions? And did you use a cane or walker after surgery?

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    @Age28March2022 I would say your injury was not as severe as mine (your injury is still severe of course). My hip doesn't even look like a hip anymore... How are you doing now? Did you do a hip replacement? My PAO surgery was canceled because they eventually found signs of AVN in my femoral...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    Thanks for sharing @Age28March2022. I'm sorry to hear that you also experienced complications after your hip pinning surgery. I'm surprised you experienced that because your XRay looks much better compared to mine. I eventually got a second opinion and the truth is my surgeon was dead wrong...

    THR Leg/feet swelling

    I had horrible lymphedema in my leg and feet for 6 weeks after my hip surgery, but I am 25 years old. I was told that those aged 50+ may experience lymphedema for up to six months. It went away for me immediately after I started being physically active. Have you looked into cupping therapy...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    I certainly hope I don't have AVN and don't develop it, but I know it's definitely possible given the dislocation and the severity of the injury. I tried my best to explain my problem to the surgeon, and my dad and SO worked really hard to advocate for me at the office. The doc thinks it has...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    I did take a break from PT for a couple of weeks and I decided to book with another PT next week because the one I was seeing was saying a lot of questionable things and would never make me feel better. The only helpful thing the PT did was to help me walk heel-toe and correct bad walking...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Hip Pinning Recovery Advice

    Hi all, I'm looking to see if anyone has experienced something similar or if anyone has any advice to offer me. I'd really appreciate it! Last year when I was walking to work, I tripped and fell in the street and I badly fractured my femoral head and acetabulum. I had hip pinning surgery and am...
