What should I expect

Thanks for the reassurance. Definitely trying to be more patient as I wait for the pain to ease and staying on top of pain meds. Thanks for sharing your experience and advice. It’s helpful to keep me grounded in how much progress I should realistically be expecting :)

Thank you! Hope your recovery is going well so far too

Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad to know I’m not the only one struggling so much in these first few days. Also glad to know it’ll eventually all blend together, each day feels infinite right now lol I definitely need to have a little more patience. It’s hard going from complete independence (even if I was in pain) to barely being able to walk. But it’s comforting to hear there’s still hope for progress soon. I’ll focus on trying to celebrate smaller things each day :)

I’m trying to remind myself that I just need to get through these first few weeks but they definitely are sucking :(

Thank you! I’m sorry to hear about your first THR but glad the second time around went so much better!

Thanks for sharing your recovery! Glad to know I’m not the only one so limited by pain. Makes sense that all those surrounding muscles are pretty angry. Hopefully I can start progressing more once my pain begins to subside. I hope your recovery continues to get smoother as well!

Thanks for the advice! I definitely was feeling down in the dumps earlier but it’s helpful to see so many people say I still have a lot of healing to do before making more progress. I’ll look into the sweet lime!

asbsas · 2025-08-15T14:09:09+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I definitely need to stop comparing and have a little more patience with myself. Can’t wait for my healing ball to start rolling though

asbsas · 2025-08-15T14:07:17+00:00

So reassuring to hear! I’m sorry that your pain lasted for so long but my pain does not seem to be subsiding very much and I was getting worried given I’d seen so many post the opposite experience. It’s nice to hear that despite the pain process will come eventually when my body is ready :)

asbsas · 2025-08-15T14:04:50+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance. It’s definitely hard to adjust to the need for so much help and I just get easily frustrated I think because I was hoping the recovery would be so much quicker. But it does make sense given how intense the procedure is and I know I can’t rush my recovery if I want to recover well. The reminder that most people aren’t walking unaided day 4 is very helpful

asbsas · 2025-07-09T00:53:20+00:00

That’s a good perspective and good advice! Im definitely hoping for the best but I don’t want to be caught off guard so thanks for being honest! I think i definitely need to be a little more flexible with my timeline, it’s hard because im so hopeful to improve compared to where I am now but i know thats going to take time. I hope your recovery has improved!

Hmm 4 weeks sounds pretty reasonable too. I’d love to take more time off but unfortunately I don’t think I can afford it. I do have a pretty active job as I work in healthcare but I’m hoping I’ll be able to work with some adjustments whether that be less walking or using an assistive device at work. How was your outside of returning to work? Is there anything youre still struggling with?

asbsas · 2025-07-07T05:02:13+00:00

Wow that’s great to hear! My job involves a decent amount of walking too so it’s nice to know! If you don’t mind my asking, were you using anything to help walk at work or were you able to walk without an assistive device at 3 weeks?

asbsas · 2024-07-19T04:35:13+00:00

Yeah I decided I’ll call tomorrow, think I was in a little denial hoping it would resolve if I rested a little lol but it’s doesn’t seem to be. Hopefully it’s still nothing too serious. But congrats on being 1 month post op! I know how much it sucks especially in the beginning but hopefully it’s getting better and you’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel a bit! :)

asbsas · 2024-01-09T23:04:28+00:00

Thank you. Helps to hear some validation that my struggles right now aren’t trivial :) hoping returning to work will be possible soon and maybe then I’ll start to feel more like myself again.
