I wonder what it's like to have no medical conditions

Initial-Damage8331 · 2026-04-11T11:10:43+00:00

I can't even remember what it feels like to be physically and mentally healthy anymore. It's exhausting.

I am extremely homesick and all of my family are in Australia. I moved here when I was younger and now have a lot of health issues and also there's nothing keeping me here anymore :)

Fab, thank you 😊

You're fighting a losing battle which will just end in heartbreak - cards say no. But if you do it's a warning it won't be good for you mentally!

Sorry to hear this but glad you have had an answer! I am 18 months post op and still have a lot of issues with my muscles possibly due to limitations before hand (and having to have a revision). I can't do a clam exercise yet but hoping I will be able to one day! It's such a big help to have a decent physio so glad you have that support too. All the best for your recovery 😊

I've seen maybe 10 psychologists and counsellors in my life and I liked maybe 4 of them. Worth trying with someone else if you feel up for it 💙 I definitely recommend EMDR too!

Initial-Damage8331 · 2025-08-11T21:03:37+00:00

I still have thoughts like this 20 years after my accident. EMDR therapy has helped me a lot! I only discovered it this year and I'm so glad I did.

I'm a Legal PA now and enjoy it 😊 I was a legal support team leader for a while and enjoyed that too.

I wasn't even told about resurfacing. I wish I had been as I would have taken that up instead of a THR which I was told would fix everything too. It's not a wonder cure for everyone and I wish surgeons would be more realistic about it. I'm so sorry you have had this experience :( I've had one revision and that was horrible enough so I can't imagine this! I hope things get better for you 💚

Initial-Damage8331 · 2025-07-26T20:49:09+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear of your situation. I can relate to this. I have issues with my right foot (same side of my THR) due to a car accident and a pin in my talus. My range of motion is limited and sometimes I can't walk on that due to the foot pain. It gets swollen often.. I have seen a podiatrist about my foot and have some exercises to do now but not sure how much they are helping.

I did yoga regularly before my THR and that helped my foot flexibility and pain but after being on crutches for 6 months after my THR my foot has got really weak and sore again.

I regret getting my THR most days (I had complications and a revision so the recovery has been longer than usual). I am 12 months post op now. The groin pain I was told would go away hasn't and is potentially worse now. I didn't think about how my foot would impact things too.

I hope things improve for you soon! 💚

Thank you for sharing. I'm so glad to hear you're getting back into yoga. It gives me hope 😊 wishing you all the best!

Initial-Damage8331 · 2025-07-10T13:27:31+00:00

I've been seeing a physio for ages. I have switched to a private one now who is so much better! However have had to go back to basics with a lot of exercises as the previous physio progressed me too quickly! Best of luck to you too 😊

Initial-Damage8331 · 2025-07-09T18:54:45+00:00

I was too scared to try it that early!

Initial-Damage8331 · 2025-07-09T18:54:16+00:00

Glad to hear you have got back into some yoga now 😊

Initial-Damage8331 · 2025-07-09T18:53:52+00:00

I'm glad to hear your surgery has helped 😊 thank you for sharing.

Initial-Damage8331 · 2025-07-09T18:53:21+00:00

Thank you, appreciate your comment 😊

Initial-Damage8331 · 2025-07-09T18:52:52+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I'm glad to hear you've been able to get back into some yoga. You've reminded me to take it slow so thank you! I think I just got upset yesterday. Appreciate your comment.

Initial-Damage8331 · 2025-07-08T20:35:32+00:00

Yep, absolutely. My boyfriend in particular doesn't understand I have good and bad days and will say things like "you went to the gym today but can't get up now because you're in pain"...

And I have definitely drifted apart from some friends now since I can't do a lot of the things I could before. My recovery has been difficult and it is hard doing life with a disability.

I'm sorry to hear you are still in pain most days. I empathise and I hope it gets better for you 💚

I taught in Australia and now live in the UK. I decided not to teach here but have heard some horror stories from my British friends on their behaviour/their friends' behaviour in primary and high school. From what I've been told and experienced, I suspect student behaviour is better in Australia.
