    THR Leg length discrepancy!<

    Hi all thanks so much for the encouragement, although it feels like a lifetime of recovery I appreciate the happy hipversary, reminds me that it hasn't been that long. I also wonder if having both my hips done within 4months of each other has caused my healing to be slower. I was hoping to be...

    @Bionic Although nice to know I am not alone in my lack of sleep, I hope comfortable consistent sleep comes for us both soon. You would think I would be out for the night given I take sleeping meds along with pain meds at night. But I guess it is just par for course, I have tried lying on my...

    Thank you all for your help, patience not my strong point. It just seems that docs say, you will have no pain immediately after surgery, so not true. I don't have the same pain I once had but I certainly not pain free! I will listen to my body and take the prescription of patients. @Mojo333, I...

    I have been doing a ton of reading about others experiences with p/t, and pain etc. I'm pretty sure I am either super slow to recover or a strong member of the ODIC club. Given I have been waiting 10 years to find a surgeon who didn't say yes you need new hips but you're far too young or look it...
