Hello everyone!!! Well I'm 7 weeks. Hip feels great. Pt down to 2 times per week. Prior to surgery, I was in such bad shape that my right knee had to bend to compensate for my hip damage. Now the right knee is very painful and bent. Still using cane but walking bet straight....got my height back! Any one experience other joint problems?
Iv got OA in both my knees as when i used to walk my bine scrapped sideways and wore away all my cartlidge. Being 29 its scary to think iv just had a hip replacement anf potentially at some point will need knees doing to. But i will wait as long as possible for that.
Have you just started having knee issues after your surgery?
Yes l have had both my hips replaced since december started getting pains in my knee have been and got xrays on thurday so am waiting on results coming this week. I am hoping l have not got OA in my knees.
And sarah who replied first is 20 not 29 unless she aged overnight. She is my friend.
Xx
😐Thanks Laura? .I really thought I missed something
hi lizard,
what does your PT say about your knee?
I had a similar experience. ..my knee was hurting so badly pre op ..PT taped it but it didn't help...
post-op, trying to walk properly, keep my balance, my knees hurt a lot ..
those poor muscles were compensating pre-and post-op as well as carrying extra weight 😔
it sounds like you are doing great. ..
maybe your PT can show you some knee strengthening exercises. .
big warm hug
Renee ❤
Thanks for the responses! Yes, pt is trying to help the knee. I have exercises I do daily. I go back to the doc for 8 week hip checkup and tgey will take knee X-rays then! Hip is great though!! ☺️☺️
