Hi Chill,
I am scheduled for RTHR anterior approach on March too. How are you feeling now? Can you please tell me little more about you? Why you had to do RTHR? How is your recovery going on? Please share your experience.

Hi sub36!
I've suffered from severe migraine headaches since I was a child. After trying every treatment & medication, prednisone was the only drug to stop the pain. Unfortunately prednisone ruins the joints and took its toll on my hip. I'm married with a five-year old daughter and my own photography business and the pain that I've been in has really limited my living & working. 17 days post-op and I'm amazed at how huge the baby steps are in terms of regaining movement. It's truly a journey, moment by moment. Right now the most painful thing is the superficial nerve pain from a huge nerve in my thigh being moved over that I wasn't prepared for (it burns like fire!). Best wishes on your surgery in March!

*I hope I'm replying in the correct spot!
