Hi Everyone!
I am 1 week post op left hip and 7 weeks post op right hip. I am having severe muscle spasms. I remember them from my right, but nowhere near as severe as this time. I cramp so bad that my toes almost stand straight up. My calf hurt so bad on day 6 that I was sent to the hospital to check for blood clots. I tested positive on the blood test for clots but they checked for them with different tests and they didn't find one. They said the blood test shows false positives. My coumadin level is at such that it would be highly unlikely that I could get a blood clot. Today they are soposed to order me a stronger anti-spasmatic.
Here's my question.... Did any of you have problems with this? Night is the worst. I have laid here crying at night as it hurt so bad.
My PT says to move as much as possible but when I am not moving to be resting as I need both. I am still so tired.
Thanks
Sandy
