Hello. I haven't posted for a long time because I've been hoping and praying that things would get better for me. Unfortunately, that has not happened. I'm posting this now just to see if anyone else has had this much trouble after THR and if anyone has any suggestions/help for me.
I had THR...
Hello everyone. I have not been on here or posted anything for several months because I've just been too stressed about how things are going for me. I had total hip replacement on the left side last year, May 9th....yes, almost 10 months ago. I'm still having a lot of pain in my thigh...it's...
I'm sorry you are also going through pain at almost 5 months post THR. Do you have any other plans for help with your pain? Pain Clinic? I see you and I are almost the same age too....not that that has anything to do with this. My neighbor who is 87 had her THR done 2 weeks before me and she...
I want to thank all of you who have responded to my posts with suggestions for me. Update: I did go to the Pain Clinic and the doctor gave me an injection; however, other than my butt and leg being numb for hours, the injection didn't do anything to alleviate my pain. I am now almost 5 months...
I tried to open this article but it said it cannot be found. I appreciate you trying to help with sending me information. I'm beyond knowing what to do anymore to alleviate my pain.
Thank you. I'm still having a lot of pain and nothing is helping...not therapy, not meds, nothing. I can't stand this because I'm in constant pain and I can't walk more than a block without having to stop because I'm hurting and also exhausted...just no strength to go on. Thank you for...
Thank you for this information. Unfortunately, I'm still having severe pain in my leg which I 'believe' is nerve pain but nothing seems to help. I've been on all of the drugs listed and nothing seems to even touch it. I'm very discouraged.....
Good morning Layla. Thank you for checking on me. Unfortunately, I am no better...in fact I think I'm worse. The pain in my leg is constant now and spreads into my buttock. I can't walk as far now as I could a month ago without pain and exhaustion. I'm going to therapy 3 times a week but...
Thank you! I really do appreciate your words and help. I'm glad I found this site...it has helped to know that other people don't always just sail through hip replacement either. I appreciate the prayers too.
Hi Layla and thank you so much for following up with me. I just saw my surgeon today and he said that my pain that I'm having (which is still awful) is not from the hip surgery but it is nerve pain which does sometimes happen after hip replacement. He prescribed steroids and pain killers and...
Good morning and thank you for your response. It's good to hear someone else who felt like me at 3 months. I just made an appointment for next week with my original surgeon and I'll see what he has to say. I really feel that no other doctor is going to do or say anything when they aren't the...
Thank you for your response. I just made an appointment for next week with my original surgeon and I'll see what he has to say. I really feel that no other doctor is going to do or say anything when they aren't the one who did the surgery. The burning/stinging and pain I feel almost feels...
Hello everyone....I'm back and still feeling very discouraged and depressed. I am almost 3 months post op now (surgery was May 9) and I'm still in quite a bit of pain and the incision site is even very sore and tender. I still can't walk more than a block without cramping. I feel like there...
Thank you. I don't have a lot of faith in my surgeon that did my surgery. He doesn't seem to have much time for me or to answer questions and he said I don't really need therapy....what????? I then got a second opinion from a highly rated orthopedic surgeon here in Minnesota while we are...
Thank you for your response. I know I need to stop comparing my recovery to others...it just makes me more discouraged when others are doing better than I am. Yes, I'm wondering too about the walking. I don't 'think' I'm doing too much but I do think that you are correct in that I maybe...
Thank you! I try sleeping on my right side with a pillow between my legs and I can for a little while but then my left hip starts throbbing so I have to go back to my back. I appreciate your comments. Blessings to you in your healing process also.
