I fell over yesterday. I am post LTHR almost 6 weeks now
I lost my balance and fell on my operated side. It was like a slow motion film when it happened. But thank god I didn't dislocate my new hip at all. I just have a little bit of pain in my groin now. But since then I have been to the park with my grandson and played on the stuff there hahaha
Eeeek 😱😱😱, ohhhh my goodness, my worst nightmare and everyone else's I imagine. I'm so glad your ok . That could have been so much worse. XXXX be extra careful xxxx
I have my first physio appointment next week then to see the surgeon who don't my op, a few days later. I will mention it to then just to be on the safe side.
It's scary to fall down. It seems to happen so fast that the next thing you know you're on the ground. I know the feeling. I hope all is well with you and your doctor gives you an all clear.
I've fallen three times!!! Very scary. I was told by the arthroplasty nurse that some hip (and knee) patients have a problem with proprioception afterwards. Something to do with nerve impulses not passing through the artificial joint to the brain. I hurt myself badly the last time I fell but I'm trying to get past it and carry on.
