Hi, hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine! Have had the bandages taken off and it is healing nicely so am pleased! Very neat job as well and already has more wiggle than has had for a few years! Is very sore again now am walking on it but as long as its progressing I can cope with that :shock: fingers crossed it does the trick! Josie x

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    That sounds positive Josie. Have you got adequate pain relief to help you cope as you learn to walk and weight bear again?

    Are the stitches/clips out yet?

    Keep us posted.

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    hi Josie,

    Sorry its giving you grief there. I wonder if its cus its lost the support of the bandages? If it is it will soon ease off and be ok again. Maybe you have wriggled it a bit much? Just sit with it up and I used to find glaring at it helps, oh and swearing at mine was useful :wink: Hope you soon loose the pain. ((( ))) Cris x

    I think it's a protest with being walked on! Can't blame it I suppose! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who glares and swears at things though-have taken to grumbling under my breath which I'm sure isn't good! :shock: The doctor said to sit wiggling it all the time-I chose not to hear that and settle for every so often-that's quite enough thank you!! Thanks for everyone's good wishes!

    Hi Josie, your leg is probably tired - walking and no bandage and I remember the pain being worse as the day progressed. Take it a bit easier tomorrow and take your full allowance of pain meds.

    Hope you manage some sleep tonight.
