Wow! Everything looks great and our bodies are not mirror images on both sides so your new hips should fit right in! Does your OS think the LLD will even out or is it at a point where it doesn't bother you? All the best.

They look pretty good to me.
You've got me wondering now whether I've got a matched pair or will be fashionably different. I'll let you know in a couple of weeks.

Thank you everyone!!
Sarah-Thank you for asking. My husband is doing as good as he can for the situation, it can be quite painful at times.
The star is from my yoga pants, didnt wear jeans to appt because then I would've had to change into their "not so flattering" one size fits all blue paper shorts:th_heehee: Just a lot easier going in the lazy day clothes
I told the OS I still feel a tiny bit "off" on R side but I still have some tight areas, to which he replied that the tightness will also contribute to that "long" feeling and soon enough it will not be a problem!! I am actually walking wonderfully these days.
Roger I would very much like to know how your pair is

Looking at my spine/tailbone comparing xrays from pre op 1st THR and the xrays I got yesterday and notice a little less curve!! It is a small difference and Im no medical professional but I really believe these THRs are really going to help get my spine back in order

That is awesome news. Having new hips may help our body mechanics in all sorts of wonderful ways!

Awesome Haldox!!! Your x-ray looks great and I bet your OS is right on about those sensations that you're having settling down in time -- your right hip is still just a baby.
Great report
Take care,
Cardie

Haldox, that is so great about your tailbone straightening out! I saw the exact same issue on my pre-op x-rays so I'm looking forward to seeing what my next set shows. Did you have any issues with your SI joint before you did your first hip? Mine would flare up on the right side from time to time but has been great since the surgery.

Jen-I had issues all over before my 1st THR, for about 3 yrs we all thought it was just my spine giving me trouble and hip was referred pain! So ya, SI joint on L side gave me grief but I didnt have any SI discomfort with my R side until post RTHR.
I can still feel some adjusting but that is only a mild discomfort here and there.
Its just amazing what a new set of hips can do:biggrin:

Hey there looks good !! Glad that you are getting some relief for your spine after these procedures. Your and my LLD is about the same - I'm getting more forgetful about it each week - hopefully in a few more months we won't notice it all.

Haldox....that photo is purty, purty, PURTY!!!
That's quite a list of exercises. Just be sure all that activity isn't giving you any pain. If that happens, just scale it back for a while.

Thank you Jamie!
The only thing that gave me pain was the hip extension,gave it a little break and slowly adding it in. I always feel great leaving PT.Also the therapists wont let you push yourself to pain
