Hi, My father had THR just over a week ago, approx 3 days after it he complained of extreme pain and his leg trembling and hanging loose as he described it. After a night of extreme pain when he couldnt move his leg at all an xray confirmed the hip had dislocated. He was sedated and it was manipulated back into place, now however he is confined to total bed rest for 2 weeks and then needs to go to a convalescent home for a further 2 weeks. Is this normal? It seems strange that he was being pushed to get up and walk every day initially and now he cannot leave the bed for 2 weeks. Just want to have some advance info before we speak to doctor on Monday. Would appreciate anyones experiences. Thanks.
