Bones, joints and muscles

Hi Everyone

Bit of background again, had left THR 6th August 2014 all gone well, started having a lot of pain from my other hip around Christmas, referred to Consultant and was offered inj or op, took some time to think and as it will not get better decided to go for op, so he had some openings and have been booked on for right THR 16th March eek! More nervous this time round for some reason? Maybe ignorance was bliss kind of thing!! Anyway that will be 7 months between operations. Any comments from 2nd time hippies out there much appreciated. Although left hip doing great feel my thigh muscles still very weak so have been trying to work on them. Any other hints and tips? 😳

Thank you

Hi Dee,

Definitely keep building strength in your legs. I had my second THR four months after the first. While you now know what you are in for, you will be better prepared with all the little and big struggles.

Good luck, happy healing and keep in touch with us so we can cheer you on!

Im having my 2nd thr on weds 18th,first thr in April 2014.

Im ok but feel alittle anxious. Just organising everything so its mid level rather than on the bottom shelf,moving clothes etc as well.

hope your operation goes well for you 😊

Not sure why I feel more anxious about this one, maybe because I dont feel far enough on as I should be with my last one, anyway got to be done on with the preparation, now where us that grabber!! 😅
