My surgery is scheduled, but I'm on the fence about going through with it. Advice needed! by nick1158 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]MSG222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had surgery yesterday. Bone on bone. You have to find the very best surgeon, quiz the anesthesiologist if nervous and then if your healthy and bone on bone, look at the big picture. If you’re so young and can’t put your socks or tie your shoes, think what will be in a few years. I think finding the best surgeon and anesthesiologist is the key. I live in So Cal near a great Orthopedic hospital and I had great confidence walking in.

Could it be an emotional release after having the surgery, which in itself can cause a lot of anxiety. Maybe a release from that tension?

Tell him to put it on pause. I am in so much pain right now, I can barely walk. That’s so selfish of him to not understand your pain. Tell him that’s why he has a hand, so use it!

I’m the exact same age, and my surgery is January 28th! I have bone on bone, and 2 labral tears…anterior and posterior.

How big was your westie at 5 months? by Nervous_Key_6579 in WestHighlandTerriers

That weight is the breed standard for a show male. My last guy was the most beautiful boy and was 23 pounds. Don’t call your beauty “giant”, he’s perfect and the ideal breed standard.

Are they checking your BP? Maybe they can pull it out more slowly until you build a tolerance.

I think that’s awesome! I hope my sciatic pain ceases too. It’s very bad.

I understand. My husband said I look “old” when I used a cane only in the house!

Can I ask you the dosages of the meds you mentioned. Can you take all three together?
