Hi, I've got an appointment with the orthopaedic surgeon ....that did my first THR....supposed to be a 12 month check but its 16 months now and I still wouldnt have got it if i hadnt rung them and said....."What about my appointment"????? :x
My first one hasnt really worked and I'm in a lot of pain now. I'm scared he'll not be able to do anything about the pain but also scared he'll want to do the second THR :sad:
Appointment is at 11am so if you can fit it in I would be grateful.
Love
Hileena

    I can't do pocket duties as I have an appointment at Sons school. I also had to ask for this appt as he had been forgotten. So I will have to be with you in spirit as a fellow member of the THR club with the 2nd on its way out.

    Please make sure they know you are in pain. I hope they can assist you in some way. This is your opportunity to let them know how you are.They should sort this hip out first before even thinking of the other hip.

    Best of luck Hileena,

    Hi Elizabeth,
    I know you are thinking of me thanks....good luck with your appointment at your sons school.
    You say make sure they sort out the THR first before doing the other??? The thing is ....some say it is referred pain from my back, others say it is my hips hurting my back. I was supposed to have the 2nd one done last Oct but it was deferred because they wanted to sort my back out first? Nothing is happening there....they have tried all things except an op and no luck....I've got kyphoscoliosis as well as arthur in my hips and spine and other places :P
    Love

    Thanks for the posts Legs, Joan, Lynn Carol and Barbara.
    I'll try to have my stern head on........still not looking forward to it even though I've almost made my list out.
    I'll have big pockets....dont worry :lol:
