Thigh pain

My little ray of sunshine gets me through each day. I have had a bad night and day of pain today. I am coming to terms with the fact I don’t really have a choice. I have to have it done. The waiting lists here are long meaning a long wait. I have had this pain since May last year !!
 
I'm sorry you're struggling and looking at a long wait.
Wishing you comfort in the interim.
Please stay in touch, we're here for you.

Been to Pre-op today. Was able to have a chat with the nurse and discuss what I was having done. I was so shocked to find out I needed yet another revision I didn’t take in what the consultant said.

I need to have the whole thing doing again along with bone grafting. The consultant will be doing the surgery himself.

I will be going in for the day to have my hips properly examined as it’s too painful while I am awake. Also so he can take fluid to check for infection. No idea when this will all happen?

Fed up about it all.
 
Thanks for moving me here.
Read your recovery threads. You did really well.
I am thinking I will be non weight bearing again for 12 weeks as on previous revisions. This is what worry’s me most I think. I have always had my lovely husband by my side but as I am on my own now I’m worried how I will cope
 
A little bit of good news. I was told surgery would be 6-8 months wait.
Spoke to consultants secretary this morning and seems I have been moved up the list. Hopefully surgery will be end of July.
Still a long way away but at least something to work towards
 
@millie4162 Sorry you are having such a long wait. Seems the NHS is just so stretched these days. Hang in there!
 
Has anybody in the UK had an aspiration before surgery to check for infection ? I am having it on 1st July. Not sure what to expect or how surgery will be after if no infection is found. Anybody have any ideas ?
Thanks x
 
We had another member who had aspiration prior to surgery. Seems this is a new trend. Please let us know how it goes.
 
Wishing you all the best, Millie.
Please stay in touch and let us know how it goes on July 1st.
Hopefully you get the all clear. :prayer: :fingersx:
We're here for you...

Morning all.
Had my aspiration yesterday. Had sedation so didn’t feel anything I was told they only managed to get 1ml of fluid from my joint. Enough to check for infection !
Today I feel like I have had a good kicking and I’m very stiff. Just got to wait now ☹️
 
Hope all is go for getting this hip fixed!:fingersx:
 
Morning @millie4162. I just read your thread and my heart goes out to you. A lifetime of surgeries could not of been easy for a child that just wants to be out running with your friends. I hope your surgery is very soon and they can get it squared away for you. Your grandaugther is lovely with the oversized gloves. I've put socks on my grandaugther's hands when she has come over with no gloves. It was a bit clumsy for a snowball fight with grandma. I'd like to show off my youngest, however don't know how to. You take care of yourself and talk here anytime about anything. Hugs and kisses to that little one.
 
Hope the aspiration shows no sign of infection, @millie4162! Time for some good news for you. Fingers crossed that end of July is still a strong possibility for surgery.
 
Hello millie,
Praying that you receive the all clear. :prayer:
Please let us know when you hear. So very sorry you have to experience all of this.
Sending a hug your way :console2:
@millie4162
 
Hoping all comes up clear for you and you can move on with getting better. :fingersx:
 
Evening everybody.
No word from consultant so I’m hoping no news is good news.
I called the consultant secretary but got no dates just fobbed off. My older daughter knowing How upset I was decided to speak up for me. She was told of 3 possible dates 25th July, 22nd August or 2nd September.
The pain is getting worse every day. I have cancelled work until September and we have cancelled our family holiday in August. Just hoping and praying it will be July but doubt I will be that lucky.
I am really fed up now, in awful pain all the time and very little sleep.
Sorry just having a moan and feeling sorry for myself ☹️
 
I'm so sorry. One would think "no news is good news" let's hope and pray.
With any luck you could get the July date...you never know. :shrug:
Wishing you comfort as you wait for answers and get a date scheduled.
Please stay in touch, we're here for you. :console2:
@millie4162
 
Will cross my fingers that you get the soonest date. Hang in there.
