Hello we seem to have similar history. I had my first operation in may 2015 , and two years later I need to have the other hip operated. I hadnt expected this ((
It was perfect for one year, then the other one started aching terribly...
Hopefully eveything will be much better since I have too much pain while walking...
How is your story?
All the best,

Kind

@BlueSkys ... thinking of you as your surgery is tomorrow (or maybe today due to Australian time).

I know it will go well and I will follow your progress

Thanks!!!!

I am having a THR of my right hip on the 20th July . It is my second THR. I had the left hip done on the 8th December 2016. There seems to be a number of us having the procedure done on the 19th and 20th !

@BlueSkys Glad you're on this side!
A little jarring I discovered after the fact... But relieved it was over.
Hope pain is being managed well.
Best of luck!!!

Hi, I have a total hip replacement scheduled for July 25th. I have completed most of my pre-op appointments, like dental, primary care doctor, and hospital. I only have 1 more pre-op visit with my orthopedic surgeon and 1 more hospital pre-op the day before surgery.

I knew this was a long time coming but it's weird now that it is here.

 

[Mojo333]

Good for you war3235. Sure you must be getting anxious but it will be so good to see you on the other side. What caused you to have to get the replacement? Have you had allot of pain for very long?
Amazes me how many younger hippies we have here

I have had hip pain for about 6 years now but the last few years have been very painful. I really don't why I have such bad osteoarthritis in my hip. I used to run a lot and I'm still an avid weight lifter. Maybe it was just weaar and tear. Thank you for your encouragement, I am looking forward to getting this done.

@war3235 I just had mine done 5 days ago. It is weird that its so far away then all of sudden its time. If you are strong and kind of fit, and eat well going in, coming out will be better i believe. I'm 5 days out its going very well. Apart from some temporary things, its been smooth. The transition to home is big though. But if you can make it one day, you can make it right through) One hint i would give, is to get your forearm crutches early and learn to use them and get familiar with them. Also up and down stairs. Everything needs to slow down post surgery, but if your sturdy and confident with your crutches ... its helped me. Hope that helps ;) Oh and yes when that pain is gone. The groin pain... the thigh pain.... the awful knee pain and oh yes the unbearable shin pain . Has. All. Gone. !!! Your feeling so much better even though its a bit tough recovering)

That's what I was wondering... If it was OA related. That what was causing all my severe pain too although it took them a while to figure it out. And five years was about how long it really got awful.
That's such a long time to suffer.
As BlueSkys indicated, even with post op pain... The most striking thing will be the absence of that horrible radiating hip pain.
I'm guessing you'll be agreeing it's the best thing you have ever done.
It will give you your life back.
Can't wait to see you on the other side!!!

Hi @Dante46 July 31st was my original surgery date and I got a call and was offered June 19th. I will be 6 weeks post op when you get your surgery. You will do great, the waiting is the worst part. Cheryl
