Hi hippy type people. My 6 month report is here. Still experiencing stiffness and pain on outside of thigh around incision and walking uphill still taking hard work. Consensus of opinion is sciatic nerve and glute problems and even though I thought things would be better after 6 months, I have been walking badly since 2011 so it's going to take time...also not using sticks/canes anymore.
Also, it's time for yet another verse.
6 months ago I got my second hip
And even though it's giving me gyp
Much much better than it was before
Still in the battle and hope to win the war
Dry needling every two weeks
To ease inflammation the fizzio seeks
Not bursitis or piriformis she did claim
More likely than not, sciatica pain
To the doctor I went feeling low
Hoping to make the sciatica go
He said your body is trying to relate
To the fact that you are standing straight
Everything was out of line
But it will take some time
Take these pills but don't play soccer
The prescription is a great nerve blocker
He said that I was walking well
Two replacement hips noone could tell
Told me it would all be fine
But going to take a little time
So I thanked him for his time
And that he had talked in rhyme
If the pills work will soon be seen
Hello Nortryptiline
Thought after 6 months I would be able
To jive and bop and dance on a table
But guess it will come in time
And right now for me that's just fine
Some days downhearted that is true
Then realise the things you can do
That you couldn't do before
Still in the battle and will win this war
Thanks as always to
