What a wonderful picture. What a big first step. Remember pain pills before walking. I see you are in good hands. I look forward to your recovery.

Hang on in there its a bit of a rolller coaster or a walk in a park sometimes the park is in a nice tranquil palce and sometimes its in a war zone. If your body aches or hurts then rest, ice, and take pain meds anti inflamatories, when you get that under control the stiffness will resolve.

@jenb Just stopping by your thread to let you know you are in our thoughts. I hope things are starting to settle for you! Do post when you feel up to it.

Hello..... Sorry for the lack of updates. This has been a difficult journey. I am still in acute rehab and most likely leaving Tuesday for home. I'm having a hard time lifting my legs to climb stairs. Pain, spasms & stiffness are still issues. Getting my staples out Tuesday (over 30 in each hip). I do not know that I could, in good conscience, recommend this surgery to anyone. I have a high tolerance for pain, and this was very very painful. Perhaps in a couple more weeks I will see/feel the benefits of doing them together, but it's hard to see now.

Hi jenb, so sorry that you are going through this! Thinking of you and hoping you are feeling better VERY soon!

Hi @jenb What pain meds are you taking? It sounds like you are under medicated. You are right, this is major surgery. But post op pain is usually managed. Are they letting you ice and elevate? Hang in there! It does get better!

@jenb,
Your pain sounds bad. As others have said, do all you can to get your pain meds. Be a "squeaky wheel." Very squeaky. Maybe they will provide some grease. Be assured I am praying for you. Keep your eyes on the healing and pain free living that is ahead. It will come.

@jenb. So sorry that you've gotten off to a rough beginning on your recovery road. Be sure that you are getting and taking your pain meds on a good schedule, are icing and elevating, and getting lots and lots of rest.

Take care and keep us posted. We care.
