THR Autism and THR
Thanks Layla wow time has flown by. I have been back at work for a week now and no problems whatsoever. Actually its easier than before surgery now that I am not in pain and can walk normally again. The novelty factor of being free from chronic pain is huge at the moment. I keep having...- beach73

@Layla Thanks am now 5 weeks and am having a great week this week. I almost feel like I am on holidays now, going out for lunch and coffees. Went to the beach yesterday. Catching up with a friend today. And have been able to ditch the stick this week or maybe it ditched me. I was forgetting...- beach73

Hip Resurfacing 3 1/2 weeks after hip resurfacing
Hi Chappy I had my hip done a few days after you and am not ready to go back to work yet, although the impatient part of me is more than ready. I get a reality check though each time I test my limits. I went shopping yesterday and was exhausted after. I probably am quite deconditioned as was...- beach73

3 weeks already. Felt like I was waiting forever to get my hip fixed and now it is in the past. Pain has virtually gone currently on 2 panadol twice a day, winding them back slowly. Still icing a few times a day. Went on my first solo walk today to the shops all of 5 minutes away but it was...- beach73

Thanks for the replies they definitely help. The activity progression link is great thanks Layla. I got pericarditis and had to go back to hospital for a few days. I probably should have gone in sooner than I did but once there was ok. I guess I learned a trick or two from my previous...- beach73

The first 5 days post op I was stuck in bed and couldnt try out my new parts. The first few days after that very minimal pain when walking and using walking stick mainly for balance. I could fully weight bear comfortably on my new hip. The last couple of days I have had more pain and am...- beach73

Hello everyone and thanks for the replies. My op was on 11th June. Its morning here now and I had a good nights sleep, which is unusual for me but was amazing. I still cant quite believe I am on the other side and my hip is fixed, it just needs to heal now. I dont want to dwell on my...- beach73

Had anterior R THR 1 week ago, new hip is amazing less pain than pre op and walking with walking stick so much better already. I had surrendered to the fact that if I wanted to walk again I needed this op. Never had surgery or been in hospital before except childbirth. I have autism but its...- beach73

Hello, I have questions about managing OA
Hi all, good news my pain has significantly decreased, its less than it has been in a long time. My limp and decreased ROM continues. I know the pain will be back but for now I am just so relieved especially with the break from the night time pain. I had gotten a bit desperate and scared and...- beach73

Hello, I have questions about managing OA
I rang outpatients where I have been referred to check if they received my referral and yes they have but its going to be a 12 month wait to get an appointment. I was a bit shocked at this but have accepted it more or less now. I just have to wait. This is my first winter in 20 years after...- beach73

Hello, I have questions about managing OA
@Jaycey thankyou for the welcome and the links, i have read through them all. The scorecard was really useful, mostly 2’s with some 3’s. Although I couldnt score some things because I dont do them. It was interesting to see the vast range of areas in my life that are affected. The idea of it...- beach73

Hello, I have questions about managing OA
@Ptarmigan, I think I might try Tylenol/panadol again. I tried it a while back without much effect but it would be good to get off the ibuprofen. I do need to plan ahead financially as I don't know how much longer I will be able to keep working or if I have a THR, I will need some savings to...- beach73

Hello, I have questions about managing OA
I have been reading many threads here and have learned so much already. 5 years ago when I was 40, I was told I had early R hip OA. The MRI report said joint space narrowing and in view of a relatively shallow acetabular this potentially relates to a degree of dysplasia. Xray report said mild...- beach73
