4 weeks post THR

[Guest guest]

Hi

I am 28 years old and am now 4 weeks post LTHR. Just have a few

questions and wonder if anyone else can answer them!

Will I ever be able to bend past 90 degrees, cross my legs, lie on my

side etc? I know in the initial 6 weeks its a no no but as time goes

on do they allow you to do that?

At certain times of the day, usually when I have been sitting for a

while I get an uncomfortable ache in my bottom, I suppose where the

sciatic nerve is. It like I am sat on something and find it hard to

get comfortable. Has anyone experienced this? Looking at my xrays I

have a large screw from the hip into the pelvis and I am not sure if

this is where I am feeling the discomfort.

I had a ceramic on ceramic because of my age and my wound had only

just healed and swelling started to go down. I got a wound infection

and so have just finished a weeks course of antibiotics. Maybe this

is all normal and its just because everything is coming back to life,

I would like the reassurance and advice.

Many Thanks again for all your time!
