Hello all
I last was on BoneSmart after my left THR in 2015 and cannot thank you all enough for the tremendous support given. Almost 4 years later, on 8th April this year (8 weeks ago today), I had my right THR. This has been successful and was carried out by the same surgeon.
Over the last year, I have become much more anxious about everything, or so it seems! The main thought I have at the moment and hence my writing on the forum today, is that I feel ‘more aware’ of my left hip these days. I feel sometimes there is a slight ache/soreness in the left groin and sometimes in the morning when I get up I have a click in the left leg.
I have obviously had xrays over the last few months and all looks good on both hips. I have no pain in either hip. In fact, I am asking myself now if I am overthinking things anyway. Is there really anything different with the left hip now compared to the last few years? I’m thinking it could be over-compensating over the last months, with the pain and limping of the right hip and using my left hip more i.e., getting in and out of bath pre-op and now recovery.
I would so appreciate any thoughts you may have regarding this!
