Hip Resurfacing April 21 - finally getting a repaired hip
I just got the call from the hospital, my surgery is tomorrow morning at 8am. I need to be there by 6am, which means leaving my house shortly before 5am... hopefully I'll be able to sleep well tonight! I'm both excited and terrified right now!- confused newb

Surgery bumped...
Well, I received a call from my surgeon today... my date has been pushed back until April 21, 2017. The joy of an underfunded, overtaxed public health care system!- confused newb

Warm 'flash' at back of leg
Pre-op question, wondering if anyone else has experienced this or not... not even sure it's hip related, but it's the affected leg so it might be related. Over the past week or so I've felt the sensation of warmth at the back of my leg randomly, it feels as though I'm sitting on a heated car...- confused newb

Working from home after THR?
I'm slowly coming up to my surgery at the end of March, and I'm wondering how long it will be before I'm able to work part time from home... sitting at my computer punching numbers into spreadsheets... Obviously, my first priority after surgery is going to be to recover... but I hope that I'll...- confused newb

What to expect once I get home...
This is the part of the process that I haven't paid much attention to up until now. I have no idea what to expect when I get released from the hospital and head home. I know that everyone is different, but is there a general rule of thumb here? Should I plan on being essentially an invalid...- confused newb

Finally have a date
I've been lurking around the forum for about a year now, and just got the call with my surgery date... March 24th! I've been dealing with hip pain for about five years.

Realistic expectations...
I met with my new surgeon, and booked a Hip Resurfacing surgery on my right hip. We went over the pros and cons of THR vs. resurfacing, and this is what the surgeon recommended for my situation. I'm happy with the decision, although... now I need to prepare myself for it. I have about ten...- confused newb

Staying active...
I think the worst part of having a 'bum hip' is how difficult it is to stay active! As someone who has always been involved in sports... it drives me crazy not to be able to participate fully. Especially when I have two very active kids at home (12 and 10) that I want to play with as much as...- confused newb

Not sure...
Hi all. Looking to see if there is anyone else with a similar situation. I'm 39 years old, and three or four years ago I started feeling the odd groin pain. Soon it became less and less odd or infrequent. Now I have pain/discomfort of some degree every day. I was diagnosed with...- confused newb
