Re: take your time and heal

[Guest guest]

I had advanced degenerative arthritis in my left hip, not sure why

but I have had pain since I was 14 yrs old and trouble walking for the

last 2 years. My OS told me that I was ready for replacement when I

was 25 yrs old, but I waited until 31. My OS did not order PT for

me, he does not usually for a hip. I'm not trying to rush things I

was just wondering if little aches & pains with certain movements were

normal? I actually have no pain at all when walking unless I have

been on my feet to long, like shopping or something. Then I know to

sit down and take a break, which I do often. And those pains feel

more like muscle fatigue than hip pain. When did you start to bend

past 90 degrees? Can you cross your legs yet? My OS told me that I

could start stretching and bending a little at a time, but not to

rush it. Are you working, or back to work? Which hip did you have

done and what kind of pain are you having now, is it like the pain

before your surgery? I live in Northern Michigan.

Take care,

You where young to have a Hip replacement I was 56 when I had my right Hip replace and 58 when I had my right Knee replace I had what you had the degenerative arthritis I have it in my left hip and knee also but my operations on my right side didn't go like I planned so I'm waiting until I feel a lot better as long I can still walk with my cane I'm still in pain sometimes when I lay down I feel it and it feels sore I'm trying to find a better dr.
