Sharon, so, so sorry you are suffering like this. I pray that each day brings a little more relief and that you will soon be able to put all this behind you. Thinking of you.

Hi Sharon so sorry you are in pain. I have had my right hip done and need to have left one done. They wanted to do left hip now I said no after Christmas
so have an appointment to see my surgeon in Feb to discuss it
I am hoping my right hip will be ok by then
Had the right done. 9 September
Where are you from
I am from south London I am a promocanel specker on health I do open platform for men and women my topic is hip replacement and mentel health on the 14 December I just hope God let's me pain free for me to do my show talk soon big hug sharon
Sharon, so sorry you are suffering and that this is changing your life so. My first THR, right hip, went extremely well, but my second, left hip, is and has been a nightmare. 13 months later my life as I knew it is over. I too have felt like ending my life because the pain is so extreme. I am seeking a second opinion about this left THR and I still hold hope that this can be fixed.
Sharon, when I was in my 20's I was forced out of my passionate totally gratifying dream career because of my body and when the day came that I had to face that huge loss, I drove to my favorite tombstone in my favorite graveyard. It is a stone life size woman kneeling over a head stone with her head laying on top while she weeps and told her I knew how she felt. I put my head next to hers wept, no sobbed, until I could cry no more. Then I looked up towards the sky through the tree above and the sun had come out and the light was filtering through the green leaves creating my favorite color and I felt as if God told me, "Now Dawn, go do the things you always wished you could do but did not have time to do." And I did.
I pray that you endure well and find other meaningful avenues in which to express your passions. I am with you in spirit. Giving up is just not the best choice. This too shall pass and you will put back the pieces of your body and life and soar like an eagle!
Sincerely,
Dawn
Hi Sharon,
Sorry to hear you are suffering, hang in there as its early days yet for you. Wishing you all the best.
Hi Sharon, i hope all is well, do what you need to do rest a lot. It was too soon for your second hip operation. There is someone in this forum had bilateral hip replacement and he is doing good with his recovery. I think you should have waited a little longer for your second operation like at least, I would hve waited a year but depends how bad the pain is on the second hip. Or the least six months.
Keep us posted on your recovery. Follow your doctors and physio instructions, you will recover in no time.
