    THR Bickypeg's new hip

    @bickypeg I too still have the odd time when I have a "log leg"! It also has a mind of its own at times. I've found it happens when I've done too much bending and stretching usually. At 11 weeks I forget sometimes I have a shiny new joint! I've had to put my sensible head on and let OH do more...

    THR Cleared to go!

    @HertsHippy Thanks for that, I'll give it a go in April when the water warms up in the outdoor pool. I'm not a very good swimmer and can only do 4 lengths without stopping! I've just walked about 1000 metres to the local pasty shop, going down I didn't need a walking stick but coming back up a...

    THR Cleared to go!

    @SurreyGirl If you can wade out until you're knee depth in the water you can then do what I've been doing for years and jut place your bottom onto the kayak and gently lift your legs in. Do the same in reverse to get out. Sit on tops are very stable and it would be very hard to fall out in calm...

    THR Cleared to go!

    THR Cleared to go!

    I've just had my follow up with surgeon 11 weeks after the THR. He told me I can now lift all restrictions and lead a "normal" life. I asked him a few questions but forgot one obvious one, how long should I follow the exercises given to me after the operation. What's the feeling on this and is...

    THR Cleared to go!

    I finally had my hip replaced in December 2018 after a 17 month wait on the NHS. I am now nearly 9 weeks post op and have just been for a walk in the sunshine without limping and pain! I have spent a lot of time reading other members experiences of THR and think I'm on track. The only problem I...
