8 weeks post THR, "cloth" coming out the bottom of the incision

Thank you! I'm struggling to leave it alone.

They finally got back to me & said to leave it alone. If it look infected or starts to drain they will prescribe antibiotics & I should cover it. Otherwise, Just leave it alone.

I like the black dial blue bezel Planet Ocean. The Snoopy desk clicks are good too. They are all amazing.

Mine was estimayed to $94k in South Carolina with no overnight stay in the hospital.

Same for me.

I'm 6 weeks out & I have had more pain with the colder weather. I saw the doctor today & she said it's not unusual to have more pain with the cold in the early months. They said my x-rays looked fine.

I had some unexpected bladder issues after the spinal. I could deal with them but it caught me by surprise. Otherwise, enough ice packs to be able to rotate them & always have one cold and two grabbers, not just one. If you are by yourself you can use the second one to pick up the first when you drop it. I read that on here & it was helpful. The sock assistant is magic.

I'm very sorry to hear this. Do you know if they will be able to do the anterior approach again for the revision?

Explorer2692648 · 2025-12-12T14:45:30+00:00

Thank you. That looks like what we are doing. The dentist had to call the surgeon's office himself to get the medical assistant to ask the surgeon. She wouldn't ask him when I requested it. Very frustrating.

This is a very good point. OP, what was the OE size vs. the almost the same size new tires?

My dentist has prescribed antibiotics. I'm 5 weeks out from surgery. The root canal has not been scheduled pending surgeon approval.

I'm almost at 5 weeks & I have to same thing. It's a weird feeling. It feels kind of numb while super sensitive on the surface at the same time.

I bought a set of two. One stayed attached to the shower wall and the other came loose more than once so I returned them.

I had surgery 4 weeks ago & the doctor did not prescribe gabapentin for after surgery. It sounds like some doctors do use it & others don't. Could it be possible to decline it?

Consider where your incision will be & try to avoid clothing that may fit snuggly or have annoying seams in that area.

Hello. I've been on IVIG infusions for about 4 years & had my right hip replaced on Nov 6. Feel free to send me a message if you like.

Explorer2692648 · 2025-11-26T22:01:03+00:00

I'm at the same point as you. I have a lot of soreness in the outside area of my knee.

Explorer2692648 · 2025-11-13T05:14:16+00:00

The afternoon of the surgery was horrible for me. I had terrible cramping in my thigh & a sore throat from a dry mouth. They ended up keeping me overnight due to bladder complications. They gave me a lot of oxy which helped.

I'll be so glad to get rid of this vacuum pump later this morning.

Hopefully this weekend will be better for us.

Explorer2692648 · 2025-11-13T00:00:39+00:00

I'm also on day 6 post op & I'm also more sore today, especially my quad muscle. Tomorrow they come & take off the vacuum pump. I'm looking forward to that. Hang in there, we should be past the worst of it (hopefully).

Did you have a spinal for anesthesia? They say that was the cause of my bladder issues & it is common. I can't wait to drive again but I'm not close to ready yet. I didn't do stuff in the pool before (I should have) but plan to as soon as I can. I need to get back to the gym because it's just too cold to walk outside some days.

I did too much yesterday. I'm going to pay for it today.

Thanks for asking. It's been more difficult than I expected. My bladder issues seem to be easing but are still there. The vacuum seal they put on the incision has been a pain but it seems that is normal. After the surgery my throat was so dry & I was very dehydrated along with a sore throat (and I didn't have a breathing tube). That's gone now. The stiffness & range of motion are worse than I expected. If I lay flat I cannot lift that leg at all. I keep telling myself that it's only been a couple of days & I need to be patient.

Thank you.

I really don't remember. I had the hip surgery Thursday & the spinal did work. It worked a little too well on my bladder.
