Hiii alll😍😍😍
Am 34 &18 monthes post op thr ( right)and tx To God but If there are a life time precuation I want to know as I had complex primery surgery what about the low sit & other precuations any idea pleas
Hi Hiyab, I think advice varies. My surgeon seems pretty much ok with everything. He just isn't keen on me doing water skiing, or long distance road running.
Hi Hiyab
My surgeon has told me not to do any impact training (i.e running, jumping etc) - not because he was concerned about dislocation, but because I am relatively young to be having a THR and he wanted to ensure that the new joint had the longest life span possible. Even so my surgeon has told me to expect that I will need a revision.
Something to look forward to then....
On the other hand it is apparent from this forum that each surgeon is different as to the guidelines given.
I suppose the answer is - don't do it if it is uncomfortable.
I have to agree - every case is different and the surgeon generally knows what is best. If you have concerns tell him/her and if he shrugs them off never be afraid to go to another surgeon for a second opinion. In my personal case there was so much damage that some normal stuff I can never do it isn't a matter of putting limitations on what I can do, I just can't physically do it even if I wanted to.
But if your surgeon says everything is ok - then it probably is. Personally I found I was still careful with the low sitting even after 2 years - maybe it was the fear of doing something wrong and damaging it or the muscles found it more comfortable. If you feel more comfortable with some precuations still after 18 months than keep using them it ain't hurting no one and it might give you peace of mind.
Morning!! 🤓No flexion past 90. Don't cross operated leg. Listen to your body it will tell you what's not good. You want hip to last a long time! Best of luck to you!! Hugs 🤗LD 🤠
No restrictions except no jumping out of planes or distance running.
My consultant at 6 months said the only lifetime thing was avoiding crossing the mid-line i.e. crossing legs
Hello Hiya,
I am 5 months post op TLHR . I am back to work feeling fine. Steps are still my weakness.....My dr. Advise me not to turn my leg outward as if I was shaving my legs. But I do what is comfortable for me. Good luck on your journey and keep us posted. It's good to hear from others!
I am always crossing my legs - are you NEVER supposed to cross your legs?
I am a young patient too - my surgeon said I will need a revision at least once in this hip, and have the other side to do x 2 with a little luck (I say that because it will mean I will live to ripe old age I hope!) My consultant's advice was no skiing, no riding bikes on the road (too many accidents) no running or impact sports. I have taken his advice as gold and have added a few of my own:
I avoid icy days like the plague having nearly fallen over last week
Horse riding is fine but no huge jumps
Changing rooms at the gym can be a nightmare at kiddies swim time!
I am also not totally comfortable in very high heels anymore, but I do wear heels just smaller ones that are safer. My sense of balance hasn't quite returned and so I feel unsafe quickly in shoes I am not used to.
Enjoy your new hip is what I would add...
It depends ..... on your surgeon, and your body.
All our bodies are different, so we get different advice. What may be good for me may be totally unsuitable for you.
I was told 'no limits' ....... but I think that excludes marathon running, skiing and bungee jumping.
Tx all it is very help full my surgion gave me some instruction like no runing ,high imoact sport, crossing leg ( that is what my favourat) low sit or indian stile toilet. And some i forgot .
Let's enjoy our pain free life.
BIG HUG😍😍😍
I forgot to mention about when you want to pick something up off the floor my doctor told me to kick that operated leg back then bend at the waist and bend your knee of the other leg
hi hiyab,
good to see you here, darling ...
I agree with previous posts ... it is different for each person --- depnding on your overall health, age, hip joint etc ...
I live in Holland and as you might know, everybody rides their bike ... so, there is no restriction on that ... actually encouraged --- the risk of falling is the same as normal hippies, so to speak (many break their hip falling of their bicycles ...)-
heavy contact sports are best to be avoided, but then there are members who went back playing hockey ...
looks like your surgeon gave you some rule to follow already ...
you are still so young and hopefully getting more flexible ...
I am curious: what is an indian style toilet ?
big warm hug
renee
Yes Linda me too it's called the golfers pick up
!!
Dear rene thankyou indian style means other name of(turkish) toilet it is attached with the floor and to use it you have to sit on your leg difficult to explain if i can get some pic i will attach
Hey Hyab. We are all very different.Usually the 90 degree angle thing only last for 12 weeks and then goes away.Since you had that Complex primary complex surgery I recommend you check with your Doc. Best to error on the side of safety . 🙂
I play the cello and just assumed that this would be OK after THR (6 months ago) given that I woke up with a frame to keep the legs apart. I don't seem to have suffered except that I still get the sensation under the sitting bones of sitting on a brick, and limp briefly after sitting for quite short time- this is particularly bad in orcheastra when one is sitting in one position for quite a long time. I am not a full time professional player
Dear rose yes i never cross my leg and i think i will never
Sitting like that is similar to my desk-bound job ... I have to use a flat cushion now to ease my suffering. Sensation of a brick? it feels like I am sitting on a lamp-post.
