    THR Nausea & Fatigue

    And so the 'spitting' of the stitches has begun.....pulled one out about a half inch long this morning....I pulled one out very tiny about two weeks ago...I thought it was just a one off....I wonder how long this will go on....sheesh.....

    THR Nausea & Fatigue

    I returned to work 21 days after surgery. I have a desk job, sedentary basically. I had zero problems walking or driving so I went back to work. It's all been good. It's just this random nausea (nope not married, celebate, not prego). I will say my immune system tanked after surgery, came...

    THR Nausea & Fatigue

    Good evening all. I'm a little vexed by some things I'm experiencing approximately 8-9 weeks post THA left anterior approach. I'm still having random bouts with nausea (which has really tanked the appeal of food generally), and I'm plagued by fatigue. I can't figure it out. I was/am doing...

    THR Nausea & Fatigue

    I'm just staying bundled up in bed and napping through it today. I was caught off guard....I had concerns and reservations about taking oxy....even for a short time. However my fear of experiencing a really bad pain episode once I was discharged home overrode my reservations. I feel that was...

    THR Nausea & Fatigue

    Our office was told to telework today...weather/flood watch....so I worked from home...but I've been doing that since last week. But this morning when I got up it felt totally different, it's getting stronger and easier with each night of sleep I get....I'm blown away. I'll go to the office...

    THR Nausea & Fatigue

    Yeah....that is one thing that's weird....I keep falling asleep between 2-3pm till around 5 or 6 in the evenings...I don't know what's up with that....it's not like I'm doing any kind strength sapping activities during the day. I figure it's just the cumulative effect of surgery, meds, being...

    THR Nausea & Fatigue

    Hmm....I will definitely take into consideration both of your recommendations. Fortunately Direct Anterior Approach THA has very few restrictions, almost none, I'm not in pain, save for tenderness at incision site, my new hip feels great, I'm off pain meds, save Celebrex, the narcos do little...

    THR Nausea & Fatigue

    Well, my name isn't "Turtle" for no reason...lol. I had THA on the 1st, the surgery lasted about 2 hours...I got sever chills/coldness right before or right at the time I was brought out of surgery (had a spinal and Fentanyl) to make me sleep. So it took a while to warm me up..(not an uncommon...

    Wednesday's the day....having doubts

    Had Pre-Op week before last, opted to go with spinal and twilight cocktail during surgery. I'm getting nervous. Did anyone else start getting cold feet about it all as the surgery date got closer? I've lost so much of the ability to do things I use to do, like walk my dogs (effectively)...
