THR Post Op Struggles

[FleuveStone]

thanks so much, @Annekin . i did read some of your thread but not everything so thank you for taking the time to summarize your very complicated journey. since i got past calling it trochanteric bursitis and discovered it's much more complicated, things are starting to open up a bit for me. thanks again and hope your week goes well.

PS I'm in Canada which i think has lots of analogies to the NHS in terms of waitlists and difficulty getting tests.

@FleuveStone did you mean @Annekin. I think this is her thread.

oops! am i ever confused sometimes! my apologies to both of you

you've really got me thinking about hydrotherapy, so I've looked around and made a preliminary inquiry with a Physio i quite like. (i took the GLAD program with her just before the pandemic.) just going to a pool or swimming or some non specific aquafit just wasn't sitting right. we'll see if this goes anywhere but right now i feel hopeful. thanks again for your thoughtful input!

Hi @FleuveStone

Hydrotherapy has definitely been my saviour. My hydrotherapy pool is outside in the garden of the physiotherapist. It's a warm pool so you can use it all year round, so it's very mindful. I'm also quite enjoying the exercise bike. Although ask me again in a few months time when the intensity of the exercise has increased!

Keep me updated as to how you get on.

that sounds like my dream pool....ahhhh!

look forward to hearing how you do with the exercise bike!
