Hi Laskyd, So sorry to hear of your fall and subsequent AVN....When are they saying you need a THR ?
So I am not doing too bad and had a good run of 8 weeks or so of limited pain (no pain meds) but for the last 4 weeks I am in pain and limping so on light pain meds but still walking around without a cane etc. I am trying to get an appointment with my Surgeon for an MRI so he can track the deterioration of my hip due to the AVN. I'm hoping that the pain I'm in will subside, if not or it gets worse I will look to book my Left THR in within 6 weeks or so. I'm kind of at the 'acceptance' phase now after the initial shock of diagnosis etc.
One thing that did help was on Amazon Prime in the UK I watched the 'Andy Murray Resurfacing Story' and although he ended up with a Metal on Metal hip (a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing) his journey through the pain etc did ring true for me and I'm certain most of us on this forum.
Wishing you the very best outcome.....
