I had my surgery on 8/27/19 and although it was a lateral posterior and not the anterior I thought I was having, the only restriction I had was to not cross my legs. I did very well afterward...my recovery was perfect until this past Sunday, 10/13, when I bent down and found myself experiencing the indescribable agony of a dislocation. Fortunately, they were able to put it back in place at the emergency room with no difficulty. I am now under the usual precautions and have little pain, although there is some slight swelling.
But my mental anguish is brutal. I am in terror of it happening again and am so afraid that I won't heal properly and make a full recovery. I wonder if anyone else has recovered fully and regained complete quality of life after a dislocation and, if so, what they had to do to achieve it? Please excuse me in advance for this...I don't want to seem heartless, but I am experiencing severe trauma and am in need of reassuring information only. I am receiving therapy for pstd due to this incident. I was alone in the house when it happened. Thank you so much for understanding. I had looked at this site when I was initially recovering and saw how caring and helpful everyone is, and and am grateful that it is here.
