I'm having my second hip replacement on April 10. I had a LTHR in October 2016 with no complications and I'm praying this surgery will go as well. Im looking forward to being free from this pain. I'm 61 years old and have been suffering or over 20 years.

@stephie33 Thank you!
Currently I am taking one Lodine XL a day. It is an anti-inflammatory. It's an oldie but a goodie! Even the surgeon was not familiar with it! Other than that I take nothing else. I have refused narcotics to this point. I was trying to walk and push through the pain but in reality I was not helping. So I just move very slowly. Sitting is probably when I'm most comfortable. The whole leg is involved now due to the way I am walking. I'm hoping that stops after surgery!
I'm sorry that we share that same worsening pain. Looks like you are just at 3 weeks til your surgery. Are you able to work still?
I'll be thinking of you too!

@Nohipwndr yep still a ways away! I'm actually out on medical leave as I'm fighting a Fifths Disease infection at the same time. I'm not using any narcotics either!

Is your pain totally manageable with the Lodine?! I'm taking Indomethacin and it was working like a charm but for now it seems to be petering out. I'm a slow mover as well alternating between the cane, walker and my crutches. I'm most comfortable lying down. Are you using anything to aid you in sitting or are you naturally comfortable that way?

@stephie33 I just started my medical leave today. The pain is always there but the Lodine helped enough that I could still go to work and to the grocery store. But I certainly can't spend more than 20 minutes standing and walking around. I can't even think about trying to go visit my family as getting around the airport unassisted is impossible and exhausting. For the most part sitting is ok. Especially in my recliner. The hard part is when I go to stand up! That first step is always the worst!
I'm sorry to hear that you have the added issue of that infection. A nightmare in adults. Hopefully that will go away soon!
