Good evening. I am CERTAIN I am being a stress head for no reason so apologies in advance for being a drama queen but I've made the mistake of Googling this and of course, I am now worrying! Dr Google is not helpful at times 🤣 I had a total hip replacement on 26 October (2.5 weeks ago). Things are going OK with the wound…
Hi there. I just wanted to know how you'd all dealt with the little physio exercises they discharge you with after hip replacement. My hip was so bad it had less than 20% strength and virtually zero flexibility. I'm currently 6 days post op. 54 years old and was very physically fit before arthritis took me down in march,…
Hi, I had my THR August 20th, so I'm coming up for nearly 6 weeks post op. I've developed some new bruising around my wound site, is this normal? I had no bruising round the site initially, only back of the leg, back of knee and calf. Everything has been going really well, to the point I don't need to use a crutch. Am I…

Until this year I used to enjoy regular eight mile walks but then…

Feel like I've been run over, I know what's involved and expected pain but really aching. Taking cocodamol only for pain, constipation was grim after oxycodone in hospital but think I'm on top of…
Whether or not it'll go ahead with whatever happens with Covid in the new year is another matter, but I had a call on Friday afternoon to say I can get my first hip replacement on the 17th of January - that's just 4 weeks today and I'm utterly terrified! At the same time though, I'm in so much pain all of the time and it's…
Good evening, I had a THR 4 weeks ago and I must say very little pain apart from the fact my outside lower leg is numb and tingling, I have been told this should all get better, also the compression socks they gave me were so tight after 4 days I had to cut them off as I was in so much pain, having heparin injections for…
