hi all
as i only had my right hip replaced last week i'am new to all this so just looking for some help and information.
i am 27 years old and i have had RA since i was 13 i have been on many of treatments but none have seemed to have helped
in feb i informed my doctor of pain in my right hip and upon x-ray he found there was very bad damage to the joint and proposed i have a thr.
as a young man i was very worred as you only think this happens to your gran! i feel all this has gone to fast and i dont feel like i understood all the isssues that come with having a thr but i have had it done anyway. now i have come back home and are having to use a raised tolet seat, not bend over 90o, and to watch every thing i do it all seems to have hit me at once and it is starting to get me down. i feel that this is it for the rest of my life and that i will now not be able to run around with my little lad i also feel that it may effect my love life also and that i wont be very flexible under the sheets. i know its not what life is all about but like i say as a young man you do worry about things like that. so if any one has any advice or information on how long it will take me to get back to normal or if i even will. it will help me so much
thank you W w
