THR Aussie's Posterior LTHR

Sounds great. I agree that when you have a bad hip laying on the side on it is just darned uncomfortable. I literally didn't sleep over 20 minutes at a time for the last year and those were moments of sheer exhaustion. I even thought...seriously...last winter, when someone gave me an adult version of a onsie blanket pj, could I velcro the back and a corner of the wall and stick myself to it??? Pain and desperation will make you think crazy.
Hope you are on your way to good @zauberflöte. It is a long way to great, but good has been good.
I'm happy as a mule eating briars...lol
 
Can someone please clean my questions up for Josephine please? I just can't see what's wrong with it. PLEASE. I'll BBL.

Adding my not operated side is the leg that like spasmed. Once.

The virus was not named but same as she read about with diarrhea and a rash. Rash is 98 per cent gone. Virus for up to 6 weeks seems.... questionable.

Thanks for all be back later ...love ya all
 
Hi @MyAussieGirl.......I'll give it a whirl in an effort to help but if I'm interpreting your questions wrong please clarify with Josephine as soon as you can....

Hi @Josephine
@MyAussieGirl is looking for someone to clarify her questions to you as she doesn't have Spell Check and feels she's not getting her point across.

She has what her doctor diagnosed as a virus. Unnamed. She used stool softeners for 3 months due to constipation then began to suffer with diarrhea. She had a stool analysis, her doctor had nothing negative to report. She was once diagnosed with IBS during an emergency room visit. She hasn't had a diarrhea episode in six days, until yesterday. She took a dose of Imodium afterward. She also has a rash that she maintains is 98% gone. Not sure how she's doing today. She's wondering what your opinion is on a virus lasting 6 weeks.

Looking back, Josephine, a lot of this was previously addressed by you on page 25 of Aussie Girls thread.

Lastly, she's in the midst of scheduling a second THR for her (left) hip. Right hip was
replaced 4/17/17. For the past 3 months since surgery she's been sleeping on her non operative side. In an effort to achieve some relief since her non operative side is worsening, she slept on her surgical leg last night and complained that as she was falling asleep her non operated leg spasmed and hurt but it passed. She's wondering if it has anything to do with sleeping on it so often in its current condition. She's also complains that upon rising, after lying on it, it's numb and tingling In the area she was lying on.

Aussie Girl also mentioned she read somewhere you had a condition that began with a P and received a cortisone shot for it. Mojo333 suggested it could be Piriformis? If that's what you've experienced, Josephine, MAG is wondering if her symptoms are indicitavie of that.

I hope this helps and you are able to answer her questions or get further clarification from her if needed. Thank You!

Thank you so much @Layla you are a SAINT. Bless you I will be back but 2 small corrections ....My doctor said it could take 6 WEEKS to get over this virus. Also on the numbness it's kind of numb or tingly like going to sleep...but JUST on the outside edge of my leg where and when I lay on my non operated side. I would never accept 6 months of virus talk. I am not alarmed or freaking on either issue. I wonder if you get that thing I read about if you haven't had surgery it started with a P. I think I read you @Josephine had it and got a shot of cortisone. Thanks again @Layla I owe you .... Huge hugs.
 
Hahaha! @MyAussieGirl. I'm glad you caught the 6 MONTHS. I knew better.
Read it over later and if it's not right, let me know and I'll edit. I'm sure we have time
@Josephine is probably getting her beauty sleep now anyway.

I'm not understanding the last couple sentences about something starting with a P....
Something Josephine may have experienced...then received a cortisone shot?
 
Hi @Layla yes she mentioned to someone else she thought they could have P (something) a condition in which she also had and for her a shot of cortisone did it. If it's what I have I will be staying off my side for a spell. Gracias
 
Lol @Mojo333 I ate weeks of a very bland diet ...started eating normal no diarrhea...Before church I only had a bowl of bland diet cereal....wap.... diarrhea Cha Cha Cha . After the beach I had 2 tacos....no diarrhea since. Go figure....KFC yummy ....maybe tomorrow.

I have issues with being still in the hospital I hate them spent way too much time in them visiting family as a kid. My sister would lol I was such a nut job of activity . Once I ran into the room with a new outfit to show her... I didn't look screaming I Will look smashing. I look her in laws were visiting. They all laughed I am not humble. No reason to be PE CAN

I am praying for sis. I feel bad for all of you.
 
I am jealous @zauberflöte I LOVE church and Bible study. It's rare many have hours I can work with like after 4 p.m.

I have been eating a VERY bland diet. The runs stopped after I started eating normal food again though KFC is scary to me right now. It was I think the cereal that got me before church.

Lol yes we all want well NOW 100 per cent but it feels like oh maybe next year lol :rofsign:

BBL my hubby the Saint can't figure out the media player grrrr
 
Oh my what a busy day not bad but seems non stop. So far so good with me. BBQed chicken not the tear it up kind and toss it in BBQ sauce but real BBQ chicken with sauce cooked all gooey over it. Asparagus and sweet tater. We went to the beach Then just house wife , house husband stuff. Not to mention tend the pets. More and more bit tis a bore. This is why I couldn't stay on long. Soon shower and the TV with hubby. Read then bed. I am okay.
 
Hi just read you journey you are doing all the things I did when I came home after a week of complete rest.
Then felt is was time to move and do things, I have my first hip 5/5/17 it was so nice to have no crunching bone. About to have second hip replaced 15/9/17 can't wait to get it done.
Anyway I hope all is well with you and you are back at work fighting fit take care regards Lynn
 
Piriformis (spelling?) Syndrome. Maybe that's what you were thinking.
 
Thanks @Mojo333
I wondered the same as I've noticed that condition mentioned on this site. I have no idea of the correct spelling either OR what it is.
Guess I could educate myself......sometimes I just don't want to learn of more ailments!!!

I looked around the site a bit to see if I could find a post of Josephine mentioning it...but came up with nothing so I gave up....

A great day to you!
 
Many hands make light work! Here I found Piriformis Syndrome (and I have had it on the right side for a good 20 years now...) and also one post where Jo mentions her bout with it. It's post #5, fifth down the first page of Hippymimi's thread. The actual article called Piriformis Syndrome has a link in it to another article about the piriformis. @MyAussieGirl hope this is helpful!! :yes:

(don't think me magic-- I learned to use the search function on here 4 years ago, and it's really useful!)

I made 6 days without then one very loose stool. Doctor said it could go on up to 6 weeks. True or not?

Yes, sadly it is all too true.

Have you tried having some live probiotic yoghurts? They worked a treat for me when I had such a problem during abx therapy for a truly horrendous bout of cellulitis.

second question above yours on my non operated leg jump/spasm
Click to expand...
I wish I could give you an answer, honey. I have had, and still occasionally have, severe cramp in calf and thigh. I even bought myself a massager to try and get rid of an attack but the problem is, when these things attack, the last thing one can do is even get out of bed to walk around much less reach into a drawer to get it out! I've discussed it with my GP and my chiropractor and neither of them have any answers!

@Layla thank you so much for your help!

Actually I also had Trochanteric bursitis and that was what I had the cortisone shot for. A cortisone shot is appropriate for that but not for piriformis. I was extremely lucky that this injection resolved the piriformis as well but it was just luck.
 
Hi @Jackanorys you and I sound alike. I wonder if we will do hip 2 close to one another. I love the water and spend much time at the beach. Your water class may have been too much maybe you can walk in the pool that should help some.

Lol yes I tried not to do too much but day 4 lol I was cleaning the kitchen doing dishes the wash etc lol too much but I actually did well even overdoing...ice yes my best buddy.

I am looking forward to no more pain but this time I know what to dread lol I'll go crazier :sos:
 
Thank you so much @Josephine for all the information. Very helpful. I eat yogurt daily and take probiotics too. I love yogurt I even give my dog some daily in his meal.

On the virus too thank you. I feel better knowing my doctor didn't make the 6 week thing up. I half thought he did. Knowing it's possible and not a fable is a huge relief. Now I won't worry :yay:
