Hello everybody,
I've had my full THR of left hip on February 25th, 2009... and If have been doing pretty well til about 2-3 weeks after the surgery when I noticed that I had some more pain my upper thigh area, coming from the bone. This pain I feel for example when side stepping or turning motion. I don't feel when I am walking for example. Occasionally I will also feel a light, very light shooting pain near the hip area when I'm lying down on bed. (mind you, that this pain does not compare to what I felt before surgery) Is the normal after 3-4 weeks after a uncemented THR. I've already read on the forum that just could be hip getting used to prostetic, and its settling in..which are good things. I'm just scared that have more complications or that hip as actually loose or something. I have a appoiment with my surgeon for check up in about 2 weeks.. but I'm wondering if you've had similar experiences.
I'm pretty young for this all (26), last year in february I broke my left hip with a cycling accident. I got surgery for that, and they fixated the hip with 3 large screws... In theory, this should of fixed it, but because the was a fair amount of time between accident and the surgery, and because the ball joint, was exactly seperated from the femur bone, chances were high that arteries would not grow back and that the head would die. It did, got more pain in january, noticed that my left leg was getting shorter than other.. More pain in the muscles... till that i couldn't walk anymore without crutches... so.. there was really no other option for, even though I was really young than a THR.
I hope this makes a bit of sense... if you got questions, please let me know..
Thank you,
Sebastiaan
