Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 I recently wrote and described the symptoms leading up to my resurfacing failure (see Holiday Season posting) but I forgot one very peculiar symptom. From sometime in the summer I remember lying in bed on my stomach one bright sunny morning. My clock radio had just come on, and I was awakened by the music. I lay there for a while with my eyes closed just listening to the music--and then I opened my eyes. At the instant my eyelids opened, I felt a single throb of pain in my hip. It was the most peculiar thing. I didn't know if it was the act of lifting my eyelids or light striking my eyes, but something connected to the eyes trigger the pain in my hip. It wasn't until now that my implant has loosened and I am in pain that I have had a recurrence of the phenomenon. On several occasions this past week, whenever I raise my eyelids after sleeping or just dozing off, I'll get that same single throb of pain in the hip. It's not a weight bearing ache. It's not a sharp jabbing pain. It's just a single throb of pain that I can't compare to any other pain I've ever experienced in my hip. I guess my summer experience was an omen of my impending fate. Perhaps I've just discovered the one true determining symptom of a resurfacing failure! I can just see it in the medical journals now: eye induced hip pain. _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Hi ph, What does one say................ yes it will make a good medical journal article..........smile......... But so sad for you that it has heralded yet another operation........ and another prothesis implant.........another recovery etc........... For that we all wish you well and a speedy recovery............ please do tell us how you go........ As for the eye's well they do tell a lot about the body state............so perhaps it isn't as strange as it seems at first that there should be an indication via the eyes.......... Again all the best with your forthcoming adventure............. the human body and mind is so often great at acceptance and your positive attitude is bound to help you heal.........

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 ph Thanks so much for sending in details of your pre-failure symptoms - you must have a revision by now and I hope it's going well. I wonder how many other list members had a quick look at the celing light to check that their hip was OK after reading your message? I did!
