Week 154 POP

Hello Everyone

I am fast approaching the 3rd anniversary of my right hip replacement.Things have been going reasonably. 2014 was a bust but 2015 promised me that it would be a lovely year so I am looking up instead of down as I trip one way or the other and the view is better up.

After my mom passed the year went a bit squirrelly but in May, a high note, I got cortisone shot in my hip muscles and, amazing grace, I stopped limping and the pain was reduced by at least 50%. I had the best summer since 2005. The results lasted until Septemberish, Things went so well that when I saw my OS in October we cancelled surgery as I was doing so well. Only one problem I was involved in a 3 car pile-up on the same day as I saw the OS. My xrays showed all was well with my prosthesis. Two weeks later the whip lash and lower back, and knees were giving me heck.

I feel like I am back where I was 18 months ago. My family doc reassures me that it is all from the accident but it still is frustrating as now I have to deal with new stuff. Presently I am in a poor me mood. My neck issues keep me from sleeping much but I know it will pass. I just happen to be from the instant generation, you know microwaves and instant coffee?

Everyone keep well and know that even if I do not post I still think of you all.

Carol,
Glad to hear you had a few good months after the cortisone shot. Hoping you recover from your car accident in a timely manner. Unfortunately the microwave won't work, but the instant coffee may give you a few moments of relaxation as you sip on your cup :mcoffee:.

Hi, Carol....so sorry to hear about your accident and the pain that's followed it. Am I understanding correctly that you're having some type of surgery soon? Or is it just that you're trying to recover from the car wreck? At any rate, please let us know how you're doing. We want pain free BoneSmarties!!!

Darn it anyway @Mad Rocker ! Not fair at all! You have certainly had enough bumps in the road (pardon the pun). Hope your back issues ease soon. Heat or ice? Please do keep us updated!

Funny thing is my back pain I can handle it is just an extension of the hip pain; its the neck pain. I have never had anything like it . It affects walking, sitting, standing,anything and everything. There is no let up in the discomfort and just sitting here on the computer makes my eyes bulge. :gaah:
Two tennis balls in a sock are my best friend. (Don't be getting any :eyebrows: ideas,) I use them to release the pain in my neck. I'm tired of this nonsense.:sigh:
