Can anyone out there please let me know if they have experienced the same.
I am posting this on behalf of my dad who unfortunately doesnt have a computer but on searching through trying to throw some light on his problems I came across this rather good web site.
He is 69 years old and is approx 7 weeks post THR. He is becoming very depressed largely I think because of the continued pain he is in and the lack of sleep which in turn doesnt help the fact that he hasnt got much of an appetite.
He is no longer having problems with the hip but has pain behind both knees and says the only relief he gets is when lying down. Although there is no swelling he says it feels like there is something inside that is almost stopping him bending his knees. He is practically in tears with the pain but the hospital/doctor said just give it time and really gave him no explanation as to why this should be happening. This knee pain has almost been there from the beginning of his recovery and now he is at his wits end. Is there anyone out there with any suggestions - please!
