I had a hip replacement last November for necrosis related arthritis in my

right hip. The surgeon had had three pos people before me who came through the

replacement very well with only one getting an infection which was treated and

he is fine now. This particular surgeon was very knowledgeable about this

condition, however I'm sure he's a rarity. The operation was only an hour and I

was home in 3 days. I was off the walker before I left the hospital and I had

PT at my house which my insurance paid for. I spent a couple of weeks with a

cane and was back in the gym shortly after that. This problem started over 10

years ago and it took this long for the pain meds to stop working. I should

mention that I trained for this operation, just like I trained for the quad

bypass I had almost 2 years ago. This means I was in the gym at least three

days a week doing core exercises and lifting weights so that my recovery was

fast. I cannot stress enough how

much this helps.

And if vanity is preventing you from getting your butt cut open the scar is

only about 6 inches long and they used dissolvable sutures and tape so the scar

is smooth and the redness is fading fast. In just 10 years this procedure has

become common place and the materials used vastly improved. The best part is

the pain is gone.

Betty has been suffering pains in both her hips for a long time. Work was

done to her spine thinking that was the reason, but it wasn't. She had both

hips checked and no reason found. It seems common to not know or find reason

for pains, but since you fell, it's more likely that a reason and fix can be

found. I sure hope so, we go through our 'later' life battling pains. I hope

yours is taken away.

, I've only been having problems just over a month now, My primary thinks

RA and the rhuemy is being very thorough so its a wait and see thing.---Anyways

my hips are one of my major pain places. I cant stand/walk well, sit for very

long, and even trying to sleep--which I have been exhausted over this last month

when this all started--I just cant get comfortable, hurst to lay on any side of

my body uuuugh. I did fine that biofreeze does help take the rest of the edge

off the naproxen isnt doing. I will pray nothing is fx or further damaged from

your fall. shawna

May all your ups and downs in life be with a needle and thread

Hi Dennis:  I have missed you posting, and was thinking about you and your

treatments.  I am happy you have 7 left, and hope things go better for you.  I

pray the treatments have done their job, and you will be cancer free.

 

I was sorry to read that Betty is suffering so much with hip pain.  I hope her

doctor will be able to help her with meds. that can ease her suffering.  I know

how much pain is wearing on all of us.  You both deserve a break from all this,

and I hope you will both be pain free soon.

 

I hope your treatments have not made you too sick.  Looking forward to hearing

some good news about the 2 of you.

 

Hugs,

 

Barbara

,

I tried posting last night to your questions. Yes, RA can affect your hip

joints. RA can also cause pain in secondary causes, septic hip (which you

probably don't have), the -itits's, bursitis, tendonitis, etc, and as referred

pain from your spine. I've have all of them over the years. Since you are

getting pain going down your leg, I would ask your doctor to have a MRI of your

lumbar and cervical spine as well. While my hips are fairly okay, my spine on

the other hand is a mess. Even after two surgeries, and a couple of more due

in the future. I have/had spinal stenosis, and many bone spurs on my vertebrea.

So yes, there are many of us with hip issues. Just keep after your doctors

> Hello Everyone. I haven't posted in a while, but was wondering if anyone has

had severe pain in their hips? My hips have been bothering me for a while now -

both bursitis and in the joint. About 3 weeks ago I had a fall. My right leg/hip

buckled and " fell out from under me. " Ever since then I have had excruciating

pain in the joint, down the back of my leg, in my knee joint and ankle. My

Rheumy did x-rays and couldn't find anything, so I am having a MRI on Thursday.

I am very worried about my hips since this can cause major disability. Thanks

everyone for the information.

Hi Bobby: Odd that you should mention that hip problem. I do have Arthritis,

and my left knee is very bad. Past few weeks I am having pain in the left hip,

and it goes around into the back of my legs.

I also have it in the groin. I have trouble getting up in the morning or from a

sitting position. Then if I can walk finally, I can get a little relief. Not

sleeping good either. I am on my Gleevec, and I do not take Tylenol as they

told me. Then I have kidney problems, and was told no Advil (Ibuprofen). I

take nothing at all for the pain. I just suffer with it. Everything locks up on

me until I get moving. This is good to for everyone to share these things. You

start to feel What Now??

> Hi, who has hip problems?  the other day I got out of bed and had hip pain,

but it was gone  by noon so I thought I just slept wrong.  Next day, got up,

hurt all day and could not sleep well last night.  today, the same, can't sit,

can't lie down, and can't figure out how to sleep standing up!  I have an apt.

tomorrow, am hoping it is not REAL serious.  Bobby
