: Help...I can't get comfortable

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I had my thr 5 weeks ago. I also could not get comfortable. It has gotten

much better over the past few weeks. Can you lie on your good hip with

pillows between your leg? I also tried to get up and move about every half

hour.

Sorry I don't have any more suggestions. I can say that it gets much better

almost on a daily basis. I was using a cane at about 2 weeks & that helps

too because it is easier to get around.

Good luck
