    THR OR date set today and I'm NERVOUS

    Dear hopnfox, Fear is not your friend however normal it may be. It won't help you prepare or manage afterwards. Remember why you decided to do the anterior THR and trust that. If you trust your surgeon and his team, that will help. If you need to ask them questions, be a squeaky wheel and...

    THR Lovestojog's Recovery Story

    THR Not sure

    This is for okie. I learned I was bone-on-bone in 2019 and was still jogging. I kept jogging until February 2020 when it became too uncomfortable and I began walking. My THR is scheduled for early September and now my hip is hurting. So I would say that with bone-on-bone, waiting to be sore...
