    THR Ankle bruising

    @Mojo333 Hi Mojo and thanks for your response :wave: I have a 3 month post op visit with my OS next week so I'll definitely talk to him about all of it. I've discovered that when I do a full body stretch in bed (when I wake up) I get sharp pain in the front of my operated side groin and lower...

    THR Ankle bruising

    @CricketHip hi there, so sorry to hear you're still having pain so far out from surgery! I had RTHR (lateral or posterior not sure ) on July 27 and have had a mixed bag as far as recovery is concerned. One big issue I've had is with ankle and heel pain. I feel like im crushing my heels and...

    THR Swelling at 10 weeks

    @NH2020 .. Hello from PA and welcome bet ya can't guess where I'm from ? I'm curious.. What part of Ireland are you from and do you drive an automatic? If you don't drive an automatic then I'd say part of your problems arise from the repeated foot work your right leg is producing when you're...

    THR Pain vs. Covid: when to do THR?

    @Fennel .. I have had both approachs. Anterior on my left in 2018 and Posterior on my right in July this year. I too was born with dysplasia and my right natural hip was in pretty bad shape apparently. It didn't look so bad in xrays but my surgeon said it was one of the worst he has seen in 22...

    THR LLD Due to Pelvic Tilt

    Hi Diane, Hope you don't mind me asking.. Did you have xrays that showed a pelvic tilt early in in recovery? Ive had 8 weeks post op x-ray and it shows significant raise on my operated side which causes a limp. The PA said to get shoe lift but OS told me at 2 wks post op not to. My hip was in...

    THR Ankle bruising

    @Layla Thanks so much for your support:loveshwr: im guessing the muscle mass loss pre op is playing a part too. Seeing my docs PA next week so hopefully can get some positive feedback. My surgeon told me my hip was one of the top 10 worst he's seen in 22 years so who knows what that will mean...

    THR Help, almost 2 inches difference

    Absolutely love this post!! I was at this stage of complete desolation just a week ago and already the changes are dramatic and fantastic. Stay the course and try to not worry too much about this... It's going to be just fine when it all settles down and everything Hippielife says is spot on :)))

    THR Ankle bruising

    Hi Layla PT has taped my ankle and lower leg but bruising is still there along the tendon line. My entire outer leg is very tender and the knee seems to be falling in when walking so it seems like my foot is trying to compensate somehow and causing excessive weight on the outer ankle and foot...

    THR Ankle bruising

    Hi @Celle, I managed to give you the wrong date for my surgery ..it was actually 7/27 not 8/27. So to clarify I had LTHR (anterior) in April 20th 2018 and RTHR (posterior) on July 27th 2020. Sorry for the confusion but right now I'm happy if I remember my name

    THR Ankle bruising

    Hi there I had LTHR anterior approach 2.5yrs ago and all went wonderfully. Had a RTHR 4 weeks ago and it's a very different story. This one was lateral and I've been on an aspirin regimen which I didn't ha w the first time. I've also been doing PT this time and I'm experiencing a lot of bruising...
