Hi @Belladonna, I just read through your thread. What a shame that they had you doing that ridiculous PT. It sounds so abusive and wrong. No wonder you are crying. I cried very easily when I needed my hips replaced, and so did my grandma. I think it's a symptom when you have sever OA. You have been through the wringer.
I have a feeling if you stop the PT, and do the surgery, that you will get better. The icing really helps, too. I did a lot of deep breathing to deal with my terror, panic, and worry. I would inhale in golden light, and exhale out fear. I'm hoping that everything will work out for you and that you will be pain free.
So glad that you have an excellent surgeon now. That makes all the difference. I hope they find the right pain meds for you. The calmer you are, the less pain you feel. The more upset you are, the more sensitive the body becomes. The Bonesmart mantras really work. I am saying prayers for your healing.
