I've started this Diary on the 4th day of recovery simply, as expected, I am exhausted and it'll take time and energy to write. I firstly want to give a baseline of my own stage of health and personal information, so that others may use it as a comparison. I have also included the hospital, as services seem to differ…
Hi I'm newly registered and this is my story I've had intermittent pain in left hip since early 2023 and eventually went for Xray in August 2024 when it was waking me up; this confirmed moderate OA in both hips but was otherwise able to continue with an active life including outdoor (hill walking etc). A second Xray in…
Hi everyone, For those who remember me I had a right hip replacement in February this year. I’m currently waiting for the left one to be done early next year.

I was recovering well, but in the last couple of weeks I’ve been getting progressively worse nerve pain which started in my groin, but which is now focused on…

Hi, I'm Jane, am 65 and have severe osteoarthritis in both knees and after years of putting up with it, decided I need to look into knee replacements. I saw my consultant last week who put me on the waiting list for the first one to be done. I'm keen to know if there are any tips anyone has for me pre and post op.
Hello! I am 23 years old, and I got surgery in October 2024 on my right hip. I also got a scan and I have a tear in my left hip, so planning on surgery this August.
