    Bad Fall Two Years After RTHR

    I'm still down for the most part due to my fall. Went to my OS. X-rays revealed my hip is okay --- hallelujah!!! He has ordered an MRI to try and determine the reason for my sciatica (herniated disc, SI Joint, piriformis muscle). Started physical therapy two days ago. It is helping somewhat...

    Bad Fall Two Years After RTHR

    Hi Everyone...haven't been on this site for a long time. Things have been going extremely well. That is, until last Tuesday when I took a terrible fall at work. I tripped over a rise in the sidewalk and went down on my hands and knees. At first, it appeared it was just my pride that was...

    New Pain

    I am seven months post op today. Things have been going great! I continuously boast about how I've gotten my life back since my RTHR. In the past week or so, however, I've had a new sensation (pain) that I'm curious about. When I bend my leg greater than 90 degrees, I get that familiar...

    same hip replaced

    Welcome aboard Mr. T! You've come to the right place. Sounds as though you've been through quite an ordeal. I certainly understand your eagerness to get back to work. As Josephine, our resident expert, would say ... we didn't get this way overnight so why do we think our recovery should be...

    'Having' to heal

    Hi Pam I knew I couldn't count on my husband for help once I got out of the hospital. With that knowledge in mind, I talked to my OS about going to a rehab facility from the hospital. He agreed. It was the best thing I did for myself. I was in the hospital for five days and in the rehab...

    6 week check up

    kr70...Hi. I went back to work at 6 weeks. I am a principal on assignment. It means I'm at the district office and travel from school to school. I also do home visits to students not attending school. I did fine. My only advice to you is to take it easy. I found I tired easily. Vary the...

    Uh Oh

    Thanks for the replies. Josephine, my hip is uncemented. My leg seems to be doing better this evening. Will be having my hip x-rayed on Tuesday when I see my OS. Will let you know what I find out. ~Carol

    Uh Oh

    Last evening, I did a stupid thing. I went outside in the dark searching for my puppy's bone that she'd left outside. I did have a flashlight but it was DARK. I know you can all see this coming . . . I stepped in a hole! I didn't completely lose my balance and fall, thank God. Today...

    Great Forum! Wish I knew of it sooner...

    Welcome! Glad you found us. Better late than never, as they say. Regarding the swelling, I am 4 months post RTHR. I still have swelling around my incision. My OS says it will go away in time. I'm not worrying about it. It was major surgery we went through! Glad to hear your recovery is...

    I will take 2 please - hold the pain

    First of all, welcome! You're in the right place. I, too, am in consensus with the rest of the group. Proceed with your surgery. As I look back, my hip problems started when I was about 35 years old. I had my RTHR when I was 55 years old. While I didn't live for all those years with the...
