    Awww Joan how lovely of you to remeber..
    What a lovely lot you are, Thankyou so much for your support, I went today to get on the list to have my first THR ...has my other hip has caught up with it now, and I am struggling to walk..I have built myself up to this moment for over 2 years, and what do I get, I have quite a bit of movement in my hips, but my back MRI was so bad they think that most of the pain is coming from there, I have to have another injection in my right hip, and if that dose not ease the pain, then I wont be any better off having a THR...I was so ready today...I really was...so the jist is I have this injection before Christmas...and see how it goes..u0pset is not the word...I do see where he is coming from...but I thought today would be so straight forward...Thankyou again everyone..you are all so kind xxx
    Love
    Barbara

    Oh Barbara,
    Sorry I missed this I've been out quite a lot today.
    I also feel for you...so ready to go and now you must feel quite deflated.
    Put your feet up...relax...you never know...you still might get it done.
    Physio told me it was my back....ortho said no..hip.
    Sending you((((())))) May

    May.. thank you so much for your reply, I really am going round in circles, but after this next injection I do think I will suddenly lose it if it doesn't work...I will be throwing an issy fit, now you take care of yourself.

    if your hips are so bad then surly they need sorting i know you might still get pain from back but at least you will walk with strong hips not ones that are moving about and back might be better if walking normal not weebleing but what di i know i not doc so am crossing fingers injection works so they will do hips why do we always leave it till it getting to late ((()))val

    oh barbara I am sorry that you came home disappointed. I can imagine it took some courage to make the appointment with the thought of a thr in mind. Then for them to say they are going to inject you instead must have been quite a blow.
    Lets hope that the injection works and it was a good decision eh? :wink:

    Take care
    Love Juliepf x

    Aw Barbara, of course you are upset. Let's hope that the injection works and it IS done before the end of the year. You say if it does not work you have been told a THR would make no difference, so what is the plan with your back issues? Sorry to ask questions, because you probably do not know the answer.

    I really do feel for you so much.

    Hugs

    Thanks so much for your support Val, Julie and Elna
    Elna on xrays my hips are bone on bone his words not mine...but he say that doesn't always mean pain.. :???: and he is saying that if he does a THR and the pain is just has bad then I wont be very happy.
    I have headache with all this...anyway if the next injection doesn't work...even a little bit..then he says that proves the pain from the back....then what who knows...like Val says surely if the hips are so bad then that isnt helping my back...I will give this injection a go...its before Christmas...then I will ask for a second opinion....Elna you know how long it took for me to make the decision to have my THR...oh bugger my head is spinning :shock:
    You all take care xxx
    Love

    (((Barbara))) it must be so frustrating, yours is a complicated case. If the hip injection doesn't work, I would be asking what they are going to do for your back. Maybe an injection there?

    I really feel for you, as I have back and hip pain and am not sure what causes what, and like you say, you don't care, you just want it go away. Don't lose hope though, take time to recover form the appt and come back fighting. We are all here for you.

    Oh Barbara, I am so, so sorry. It must have taken a deal of courage for you to plan to go ahead with a THR and now this, but I guess struggling with two dodgy hips will affect the back as all sorts are being thrown out of true. Grrrrrrrrrr - what a pain, literally. And anyhoo, what the phack was he on about in saying that bone grinding on bone won't hurt? Of course it flaming does as it's not meant to be that way. Grrrrrrrrrr even more. What a twerp. :roll:

    All I can offer are hugs and a smidge of love. I hope you don't feel too downhearted but I am certain that you are - and understandably so. My poor friend, I am so sorry. DD

    Hi DD thankyou
    Dont worry I will have this next injection...the other one was done when they did the endoscopy...and it didnt work...but they don't believe you...then it will be all guns blazing....they did the pre op there and then so I guess it will be soonish.
    Love
    Barbara
