    THR New Hip -Now bionic!!<

    Hi Carol, I had my left THR just before you (31/10/2016) so I remember you well from back then! It was really good to read your update, particularly about your painful back. And of course I am living in Yorkshire too! I have just had my right THR and my anaesthetist had problems with the spinal...

    Revision Left TKR - worried

    Hi everyone, despite having just had my right THR, I am now on the list for yet more surgery. For the last year or so I have been very unstable on my left TKR and it is very clunky and wobbly. I am having a lot of pain when walking and particularly at night, also permanently swollen. I saw my...

    THR The Halloween Left Hip. Trick or Treat?

    Hello! Yes, I had my 6 week review with my surgeon yesterday. He is very happy with it and I don't have to see him for a year. I did mention again about the hard lump on the end of the wound in my buttock but he just said "it's fine". I also mentioned about my knee which is swollen and more...

    THR New Hip -Now bionic!!<

    Hi @Cas. You are doing really well! Can't believe you've been walking for 3-4 hours, well done you. Yes it is a bit of a roller coaster although I am still on one of the children's rides haha. For me it is not really the hip pain, it is my knee that struggles with walking and it has already been...

    THR The Halloween Left Hip. Trick or Treat?

    Hi everyone. Saw my surgeon again this afternoon and he is pleased with the incision healing although still called it "scabby" lol. It is now less red and no longer weeping so it is definitely going in the right direction. Still have the hard lump but is not hurting as much. Back again in 2...

    THR The Halloween Left Hip. Trick or Treat?

    Saw my surgeon this afternoon. He thinks the suture is causing a small abscess at the end of the wound but the rest of the incision is dry and clean so nothing to worry about. His nurse removed the suture, cleaned the wound and has put on an intrasite dressing for 7 days then come back in a week...

    THR The Halloween Left Hip. Trick or Treat?

    Hi @Miss Muffet , thank you for asking after me! I am doing well with my walking and leg exercises and using one crutch in the house so the actual hip joint is improving.

    THR The Halloween Left Hip. Trick or Treat?

    Ah yes, Nick Skelton. What a fantastic rider and definitely a hero. Unfortunately I am not fantastic and quite unbalanced now after my stroke. Does worry me about getting on and off with the hip, and even falling off and breaking all the TKR and THR bits! Thanks for all the positive thoughts -...
