I'm 21 I'm broke my hip I need to know if it's normal to feel like my hip is pushing located near my incision to describe it feels like my hip bone is pushing out is this normal??
Hi Cam - I don't quite know what to say. I didn't experience this feeling after my surgery, but my THR was needed because of bad wear from osteoporosis rather than a broken hip.
This doesn't sound right to me and I would probably see a doctor if the pain is bad. It could be bruising at the incision site, but a 'pushing sensation' sounds wrong to me.
Please let us know how you do.
Good luck.

I feel no pain at all, when I lay on my opposite side I feel pressure and it "feels" like a bone is pushing against my skin. I broke the cup where the joint goes into and they put plates and screws to fix it and hold the problem. It just feels really odd, and weird and I was just trying to see if anybody else has felt this
Would it or could it be, because of the fresh nerves, and it's just really sensitive ??
You may well be right Cam - the small nerve fibres are often irritated or even cut in the operation, ditto all the different types of connective tissues (muscles, tendons, fashia, etc)
Hopefully someone with similar experience will jump in but it is late in many countries, so maybe tomorrow.
Good luck.

hi cam,
how long are you post-op ? sounds like a lot of repair is taken place - when is your follow up appointment with surgeon?
not sure what to tell you as I too had THR surgeries due to OA ..
let us know how you are getting on, okay ---
big warm hug

I also broke my hip. I feel like mine is turned inwards a bit. I try to correct it when walking, but after months of that the sensation hasn't gone away.
Really? That interesting, how about when you lay on your side at night, do you feel pressure on the broken hip? (When laying on the opposite side, of surgery)
Yes lots of repair, also broke the joint off my elbow, got that fixed, then I had something called atomic reduction? And had to go back to get another surgery. But anyway I had my hip surgery July 16th, and I just started putting 5lbs of weight down on my damaged hip. I just want to know why it feels like my hip is pushing towards my skin.
Hi Cam should you be laying on your opposite
side thought we were told not to do this in U K
anyway hope you get sorted I'm 5weeks post op
and feel like I' m sitting with a lump of concrete
in the scar area /bum . hugs xxx
Hi,
Not sure if it is what you are experiencing, but I had the feeling that I was sitting on a golf ball - I still get it when at work 9 months post-op when sitting immobile for long periods.

Yes that exactly how it feels like. "Almost like I can feel the work that has been done specifically" I guess it just really sensitive muscle, nerve, eat ect, so it's making me feel Alittle discomfort
Yea, it doesn't feel as big as that, but yes I feel pressure and it's not painful just uncomfortable ya know? I was in a motorcycle accident and was thrown off an overpass landed 50 ft later in the grass broken left hip, fractured right hip, broken elbow, and punctured lung. But I have recovered very well other then that feeling in my hip/scar area making sure it wasn't very serious and if I was the only 1
For sure I feel it. I can do it,but if I think about it I get too concerned and roll over. My doc told me the fracture itself was not actually repaired. The repairs went on below the break, so I still do have a fracture that is now being held into place by whatever the heck else they did...
Yep. I have that sort of feeling. I had a bone graft reconstruction with my thr. When I lie on my opposite site it feels like my new hip is too big. Lol. Something alien in there. You'll get used to it. As everything heals it's not so noticeable.
Also, look up massage for the incision area. That helps also.
Good luck.
I only had a normal full hip replacement due to osteoarthritis and cartilage tear.
I don't have this feeling you're describing at all (4 weeks post op)
However I received strict instructions both in the booklets abd verbally from my physio that I shouldn't be lying on either side for at least 6 weeks and then only on the operated side until 3 months post op as otherwise the hip crosses down past the midway point and it puts too much pressure on it.
I don't think it normal to feel like its normal to feel like your hip bone is going to push through your skin.Did you have an anterior hip replacement .Sounds like you should get an X-Ray to make sure it's ok
I didn't have a hip replacement, I shattered the cup the hip bone fits into, it's being held together with 2 plates and 5 screws, and i was explains it feels like that "feels like there's a lump on concrete" "feels like I'm sitting on a golf ball" "it feels like my repaired hip is to big for my body" I couldn't think of a good way to explain I'm so sorry I didn't meant pushing threw my skin, I shouldn't have worded it like that. "It's just pressure when sitting, laying, and sometimes when I stand on my other leg and let me left leg "left is my damaged hip" it just feels odd I just don't know how to explain it exactly. It must just be really sensitive aswell as they did cut a 14 inch incision
What bike? I had a 2300cc Triumph Rocket which had to go because of the OA pain.
Custom 636 Yamaha street fighter, the crazy thing it litterally rose against the concrete barrier and fell over and slid maybe $400 to get it fixed I went off the edge of the overpass and the bike stayed uptop, I owe $200,000 for my medical bill, pretty crazy if you ask me.
