Oh and they will be using a Smith & Nephew cup and liners for the revision, same as last
Shaving what, exactly?Would you suggest things like not shaving before hand? and also taking antibiotics to treat the shaved spots that have red inflamed dots on them? I have also heard something about not cutting your nails close to the date. As far as the shaving is concerned does that include the face?
If it is, then your surgeon will prescribe both the treatment and the ointment. But it is often required for joint replacement patients to decolonise the nasal passages using Bactoban ointment.I have also heard that applying ointment to your nose for 5 days before is also advised?
It's normal because it's normal post-op pain!My leg is feeling fairly stiff around the thigh with sharpish pain in the groin area but I suppose that's normal as there is some swelling
The use of screws is dictated by the cup design, nothing more.They also used 2 screws now and none the last time.
I'd really need to see the xray to answer that.- is the amount of bone that now remains between the edge of where the cup meets bone and the end of the pelvic bone/cavity in a revision strong enough too create a stable hip that withstands fractures? I'm just a bit concerned
You can do it right here! Just read this A few tips on posting xraysIs there a section where one can uopload X-rays on Bonesnart?
So you went shopping and took your dog to the vet in the first two days? No wonder you had headaches and worse! That was far too much too soon and your body just couldn't cope. I hope you're going to be more prudent this time!On the day of discharge I went to the shops before going home to get supplies and it was so intense I also got nausea and started sweating and also had sensitivity to light. I had this same intense headache the following day when I had to take my dog to the vet.
@Cynthia777 It's not epidermal which means under the skin, it's an epidural!Did you ever find out if you had an epidermal or a spinal?
Lumbar punctures are about as similar to spinals as a dental filling or a dental extraction! Lumbar punctures can give headaches because the purpose of the procedure is to remove a quantity of cerebrospinal fluid which is what causes it. Epidurals are similar but do not actually remove CSF thought they can still cause headaches. Spinals got nowhere near the CFS and are not known to cause headaches. Blood patches certainly are a last resort as they are very hit and miss.I read on the internet where the longest headache reported after a "lumbar puncture"
