New hip last Saturday and was discharged Wednesday. Yesterday ok but upper leg now swollen with loads of bruising and thinking I overdid rehab and 20min walk too much. Anyone else have longer operated leg. Mine confirmed as cm and wondering if this might cause more pain as very aware when I...

It’s nice to hear from you, it’s been awhile. I’m sorry you’re dealing with pain in your non op hip. Wondering if you had a THR scheduled for your left hip? My only advice would be OTC pain relievers until you’re able to schedule, or reschedule surgery. I’d avoid any activity that aggravates your hip, try ice and use an assistive device to keep weight off if you find it helps. Something that helped me, Mojo and leejaa, to name a few, was heat. I don’t know that it took the pain away, but it was comforting. You may want to try a heating pad.
if you haven’t discussed the LLD with your surgeon, I’d suggest you look into it soon. Not sure how they’re handling patient concerns during COVID in the UK, but it seems the LLD is affecting / aggravating your lower back which only adds to the misery of any other physical symptoms you’re suffering. I’d begin with a phone call to see what you may be able to accomplish while we’re navigating this pandemic. Keep in touch and let us know how you’re doing. Stay safe and well!
Happy Saturday, SurreyGirl!
Sorry for the de-rail with our friend, Cathippy. The more the merrier, right?!
I hope your weekend has been good so far.
Stay safe and enjoy!
