Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi Marina, There are really no stupid questions. Better to try to find answers than not to ask, I think. I found the following. If you scroll to the bottom it says wait three months post surgery to wear high heels. http://www.jointreconstruction.com/opcare/hip6.htm But keep in mind, wearing high heels throws all of the body off balance and can contribute to problems down the line with other joints. So probably just save it for special occasions. IMHO.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi Marina! I was able to enjoyably wear high heels after both my TLHR at the age of 39 in 1993 and after my revision last year. It took me longer after the revision to get used to walking in them again, but it sure is fun. Though according to my doctor they are very bad for the hip, something about rotation and wear. So I only wear them for dinner out and such. I wear regular heels and low heels otherwise. But yes! Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Marina, you should ask Dr DeSmet. He seems pretty cool. If wearing heels again is a concern or hope of yours you should express it. Each doc's restrictions and recommendations seem to be a little different, and I'm beginning to wonder how much it has to do with the patient anatomy and how the surgery and recovery goes. I look forward to following your adventure and hope you are wearing heels and pain free soon. -Barb in WA, R CDH High heels?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Marina I have both hips replaced and have been known to wear heels. Just feel off balance and much taller than my husband. Doesn't seem to hurt the hips. It is almost impossible to buy shoes without high heels these days. I sure wish they made sexy 2 inch heels!

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Those kitten heels are so cute, but have you tried walking in them? It is like a tiny spike in the middle of your heel and I can not walk without tipping over! Sure hope you have better luck than I have had!
