    THR 3 yrs post THR and still cannot sleep on side

    Artificial hips don't always like the same sorts of exercises that our natural hips did. It may be that your hip would prefer a different type of cardio. For instance, my hip tolerates the elliptical machine and running, but it likes the stationary bike and swimming a lot better. Everyone is...

    THR Posterior right hip replacement May 22,2020

    Flashbacks are common after a traumatic injury. I dealt with them too. It took a couple of years to completely get past that, so patience is key here. If you just keep redirecting your mind in more positive directions, you'll probably be able to reframe your experiences. Your brain is trying to...

    THR Posterior right hip replacement May 22,2020

    I'm a Spinning instructor and I also experienced a hip fracture in a cycling accident. I would suggest three goals to prepare for getting back to cycling outdoors. 1. On a stationary bike, set to flat-road resistance, be able to maintain a cadence of 75 to 80 for 15 to 20 minutes. 2.On that...

    TKR Mild Knee Arthritis.... but sometimes pain below knee at night?

    Well, hello there! I don't know if you remember me, but you and I were recovery buddies, years ago after our THRs. I'm sorry to learn that you're having knee troubles now. There was an Ask the Expert webinar about nonsurgical treatments for arthritis last weekend. I don't know if you caught...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Greetings fellow hipsters

    I think that's a good idea. By the time you figure it out, things are going to change anyway. As long as you're seeing progress, week to week and month to month, you're moving in the right direction. Day to day changes can be confusing because...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Greetings fellow hipsters

    I'm glad to hear that! I used to wake up so stiff and sore. I would use the heating pad before I got out of bed in the morning. That loosened me up enough to be able to get around more comfortably.

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Greetings fellow hipsters

    Knitting is your bone healing and mending where it was broken. ORIF is "open reduction and internal fixation". It's the medical term for the surgery you've had. Absolutely! I benefitted a great deal from that and I'm sure you would too. Why not give that a try and then report back on how that...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Greetings fellow hipsters

    That groin pain is actually referred from your hip, so you may get some relief by icing your surgical incision(s). Unfortunately, those aches and pains are likely to come and go for a while. If you think about the trauma associated with your injury and the magnitude of your surgery, I bet you...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Pinning bad decision with displaced break and age of patient

    It's my understanding that these sorts of spasms are common after a conversion THR, following a failed pinning. I went through that myself after my THR. This is something that PT should be able to help with, even if she is not yet ambulatory. It's going to be difficult for her to walk while she...

    THR GTab Recovery

    I think this would be a good question for your surgeon next week. I was told to wait to use the recumbent bike until my hip precautions were lifted at 4 weeks post-THR.

    THR From the Other Side

    Oh, I don't know about that. :heehee: I was absolutely faking that attitude. THR was my fourth hip surgery in nine months. I was so over it. :tantrum: Just physically and emotionally exhausted. My life had never gotten back to normal after my hip fracture. It took a couple of months post-THR...

    THR 45 yr old needs LTHR

    I was 42 years old at the time of my THR. I have a ceramic on poly implant too. It's been more that ten years and it has been fine so far. Good luck with your surgery!

    THR From the Other Side

    What great news! That sounds so similar to what I experienced in recovery from THR. Here's my thread, if you want to see what I mean.
