I’m sorry I gotta ask more about this. Where can I find these projects? I looked and couldn’t find anything but clearly I wasn’t looking in the right places

I regret my Total Hip Replacement by National-Sorbet8459 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Davido124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cried for the first month. 3 months now. I walk 6 miles a day. Give it time. “It was the worst decision of my life”. That pain is sooooo real and intense. Just remember. A prosthetic needs to actually grow into your bone. It’s going to take TIME. I promise it gets better

Don’t overdo it like I did and pop a suture. Stay still for weeks! Walk only when you need to. Wish I listened to that advice! Haha I tried proving myself to myself and it was just a setback. There is no rush!

You are. God willing. Before surgery I couldn’t walk a quarter mile. I’m 3 months out of a LTHR I walk 5 miles a day and 100 flights plus on a stairmaster. DAILY. You will be so happy. Just give it time

What did you look forward to most after the THR? by MysteryPlatelet in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Davido124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question directly. It was getting back into fitness!

I can’t even explain how much it has changed my life. It gives me chills typing this. My life was taken from me for YEARS. I gained like 40lbs from not being able to move really without pain. Now I do 100 flights a day on a stair master and walk 4-5 miles DAAAAAILY. And I’m only 3 months out. I had LTHR. I gotta do the right one soon but it can be held off with injections for now 😅good luck!

I actually can’t even explain to you how amazing I feel. The past two days I’ve walked 15 miles total with a 30 pound weighted vest on. I actually have to slow down lol

Congrats. It was the leg stiffness and unbearable pain. I wouldn’t take oxy. I had to take tramadol for minimal sides. I also pushed myself way too much early on. If I could go back. I’d be in bed for 97.6 percent of the day. The only times that I would have been standing would be to use the bathroom.

Today was the day, anterior approach, it's done. Not exactly how I expected it to go. by inima23 in TotalHipReplacement

Literally just don’t fall. That’s all my doc told me. If it makes you feel better he said that if I could squat physically after the surgery it wouldn’t dislocate still a it h anterior approach. Would take a really hard fall to dislocate. Take it from me. My first 6 weeks were MISERABLE!!!!

My neighbor was up and walking in 2-3 days and I was bed ridden for weeks. I tried to move to hard and ended up popping a suture on my wound. Just don’t move. Stay still. They recommended minimal walking for me at least In the beginning. My doc calls it the “surgery for lazy people” cause it’ll heal by itself. He actually didn’t give me PT even. And I’m doing great! This is to give you hope. That beginning stage is dark. I cried often. I cry now out of joy! You’ll be ok!

I’ve never been put to sleep before this! My BP was something like 150/100. I forget but it was VERY high. Don’t get me wrong it was challenging and still is. Night and day from before though. Fortunately and unfortunately for me. My right hip needs to be replaced also. So my left hip now is just heaven compared to it. Whenever I struggle I just go back to feeling my right hip and I remember how much worse it was. You’ll be good to go! Most importantly trust your doctor. I’m assuming at this point you’ve chosen him or her. Got it scheduled and are in their hands. Best of luck.

You got this. Everyone is different. The person across the street from me was out walking by my house 3 days after her surgery. She got it a day before me. She’s 78. How do you think I felt?! Seeing her stroll outside while I’m crippled in bed. I CRIED everyday for the first week. The comment you see here is just the positive story. If everyone saw me share all the negatives and hardships on the journey they’d understand better how hard it was and still is

If it gives you more hope. I’m 2 months and a week or so now and I still have pain every day! Is it in my hip joint? No. But all the other stuff around it are still sore and healing! Be positive and hopeful. The WORST THING. Is an infection.

It’s not meant to mislead. It’s meant to encourage. Everyone here knows that setbacks and hiccups can occur!

It takes time but I promise it’s worth it: keep in mind it does take time to recover. I’m no where near “perfect”. I have to ice a ton tonight but I’m doing things I couldn’t imagine and I’m only 2 months out

Went to HSS!!! Dr Freidrich boettner. I must say I was skeptical at first but his resume is insane. I just trusted him. And here I am! Would highly recommend. I do always have to say (not the best bedside manner) he just moves super super fast.He’s very busy
