    Bilateral THR 6 months with new hips, but a long way still to go!

    Hello and thanks for my messages, puddle fish, you are absolutely right grumpy muscles and ligaments. Saw the physio on Monday at the hospital who is happy I'm progressing well, but having both done at the same time takes longer, scars although looking good are still pink, therefore still...

    Bilateral THR 6 months with new hips, but a long way still to go!

    hi Songlady and Mollyb, Sounds good, think I'll get that western saddle out later and have a little play, horse loves it and has tried a bit of barrel racing with my daughter. Sun's out here so good riding weather! 5 weeks too early to hop on, be warned though a friend had an emergency hip...

    Bilateral THR 6 months with new hips, but a long way still to go!

    Hi Songlady good to hear from you. Riding is fine, its the little grey one in the picture I ride most of the time and he is very well trained, puts his head down to let me get off and stands by the mounting block to let me hop on. The movement especially in walk is great and loosens up the hips...

    Bilateral THR 6 months with new hips, but a long way still to go!

    Thanks for the messages, doing some research on a new office chair, think that will really help. Recovery was really quick and my consultant was keen to get me moving quickly. The minimally invasive surgery is great, tiny scars, no stitches / staples and no cutting of the muscles so able to get...

    THR Newbie

    Hi there, very early days but just long enough for the initial excitement of having a new hip that moves and doesn't hurt to wear off a little. I had 2 new hips for Christmas and initially had lots of attention and pampering. Then the novelty wore off a bit and the journey began. Had lots of ups...

    Bilateral THR 6 months with new hips, but a long way still to go!

    Hi everyone, thanks so much for your replies. I had DePuy Corail prostheses (haven't got full details with me) and I don't think it's them giving me problems. Hip movement is great and mobility fine. Surgery was at The Horder Centre in Crowborough which is a specialist orthopaedic hospital and...

    Bilateral THR 6 months with new hips, but a long way still to go!

    Hello, I have just found you 6 months after bilateral hip replacement. Following a car accident in 2007 it has been a long journey to identify the cause of my severe pain and immobility. Numerous tests, steroid injections and disc decompression finally led me to an orthopaedic consultant who...
