Putting on boots and my hip just popped out. Horrible pain for seconds and I moved and it went back in by itself. It popped out 6 weeks ago and I had to go to hospital. Has this happened to anyone?
yes it happened to me 60 some times the er sent me home with it dislocated to fend for myself. i was also told that if it goes back in on its own it may not sit sll the way back in. duke put my hip in backwards.
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out OK for you. I never had my hip pop out. I guess I’m lucky. I hope you have some one there to help you. I wouldn’t be walking around on it for a while. xx
that seems insane. are you sure it popped out? when mine dislocated they had to fully sedate me because of the muscles pulling
yea it was all the way to the back of my but. i went to another er before i got it fixed and they tried to reset it with no pain meds or sedation
how long since your surgery and what surgical approach did you have?
Did you follow hip precautions when putting boots on…90° rule ?
I wear slip on shoes to avoid and will be doing for 3 months with posterior hip op.
now you have me worried, tomorrow is my six week post op for left hip, right hip is strong, matter of fact left hip feels strong, ready to go back to work, but this is my worry and probably my jobs problem!
Kathyhip,
How far post op are you? this is a big fear for us all. I wore slip on shoes and hubby put my socks on and anything else I needed to bend down for initially.
If it’s not poor muscle tone, it suggests bad placement of the socket.
Is it possible that it just moved in the socket and didn’t actually Pop out, if it is coming out it needs the muscles to be strengthened a lot as its the muscles that hold it in place
please dont worry some comments are not helpful
do as youre told and be careful bending I am 5 months post op and can do most things now but am still careful bendingi did have both replaced same time so havent got a non operated side
muscles take a while to get used to working properly after limping for so long
