Well, I had the RTHR on Monday, Nov. 24th. I'm home and doing fine. Almost no pain, and getting around fine. My question is concerning the precautions we are given. Not to bend the joint past 90 degrees, etc. I am so worried about bending too far or twisting too far. I fear all the time that the joint will dislocate. The PT I worked with in the hospital and the PT who has visited me at home both told me the joint was secure, but it just seems like all I've heard about are the precautions and I really worry about it.
Does that get better with time? Does there come a time when we don't have to take the precautions? So many of you here are running and swimming and hiking...I'm so afraid of hurting the new hip.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
