Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 I fractured my acetabulum in June of 2002 which went undiagnosed for 8 months. My left side was terribly atrophied and I have the typical loss of mobility and pain. In March, I was scheduled for surgery in June. My surgery was cancelled due to workman's comp claims that it was pre-existing. Went to court in Oct. and won. So, Jan. 14 is the big day for my LTHR. Since March, I lost almost 60 lbs. and have built back the muscles on my left side through extensive PT. Right now I am in better shape than before the fracture. However, I am getting nervous, more about the rehab than the surgery. I have never been one to take things easy and the restrictions on movement scare me a bit. I am afraid I will dislocate the hip. Any encouraging words about recovery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
