2016 December SuperNovas - Are you having hip surgery in December?

[NWhipster]

I am scheduled for my right THR on 12/20. This will be about 3 months after my left THR.

To those looking at your first, my experience was very good with an excellent Dr that is very skilled at the anterior approach. My recovery was fast and my left hip is strong enough to carry the load for what will be my new right hip. I did not think that I would be back so soon, but now I am experiencing a constant aching and grinding when I walk up and down stairs.

I hope my recovery is as fast as my first THR and it will be nice to start the year with two new hips. I will keep you all posted.

Just joined. I'm getting my left hip replaced on 12/15. I went from dealing with mild to moderate arthritis to a severe limp and difficulty with daily activity in the course of a few weeks. My rheumatologist and orthopedic surgeon (OS) were both really shocked by how quickly things deteriorated! I went from being incredible depressed and worried to excited for my new chance at walking, biking, hiking. Part of it was learning about my realistic outcomes and comparing it with the life I have now. I can't wait to just walk around without pain or feeling bones rub against each other. Wish me luck!

Hi, I was a Bonesmart member before when I had my left THR done on 1-3-2012. Well now I am getting my right one replaced on 12-9-16. I am using a different doctor this time but he was highly recommended by several friends. Unluckily I am right now just healing from a superior ramus fracture. I fell off my horse in September which ended up in this fracture. With my bad hip and the pain I don't sit so well on my little "Lady" anymore. I hope by next summer this will be better with my new hip. I had been getting shots for the hip pain but they stopped working. Am not looking forward to more recuperating time after the THR but the alternative is not better. Just got off the crutches a few weeks ago.

Hi, my hubby goes in for is op on the 18th Dec left THR in the uk. We are very unsure about this as we have not been given enough info. Thanks to your site for all your help and answers it makes us feel we are not on our own. My question to you all is. HERE in the Uk we have been told that he will never do his job again (GreenKeeper 36 Hole Course) as its so active and physical. What are your views on this. We expect 6 to 8 weeks off work then semi light work if possible until 6 months pos op, then back to full role. Do you agree with this? He walks about 20 to 60 miles a day in is job but its the lifting and bending which will causes the problems and the angle of the steps of the machinery he uses. Any help with this?? Thanks again for your help with questions here in the UK we seem not to give out all the info and treat everyone as if they where 70 plus. My hubby is only just turned 50. THANKS

@Holly100 Hi and welcome to BS! I cant answer your questions but I am sure others can. They may not have seen your post up here on the December thread. I would suggest you copy your post and start a new thread of your own in the pre- op section down below this section. Good luck!
