THR 6 days post surgery

[2Doodles]

Discomfort along the incision takes a couple of forms. It feels like there is significant bruising along the incision, causing tenderness and aching when any weight is put on that leg. Also, still have a burning sensation along the incision that prevents me from sleeping on that side. Incision is lumpy with nodules of scar tissue along the incision that are still really tender if touched.

Hello and Happy Four Month Anniversary!
I am not sure if you read this from the last post in regard to your concerns. Just in case you missed here, I’ll share it again -
Small sensory nerve fibers are cut with the incision. These nerve fibers run from the inside to the outside of the hip and cutting them causes the hip to feel numb after surgery. It is a temporary sensation that normally resolves over a period of six months to one year post op. While healing you may experience sensations of tingling, pins and needles, itching, burning and even the feeling of a minor electrical shock. These are usually good signs that the nerves are spontaneously firing through the regeneration process.

The incision area can remain tender for months and if you experience discomfort while laying on your op side, refrain from doing so, then periodically try again until you find it more tolerable.
A great rest of the week to you!
