Me operé el 22 de junio, estoy llevándolo bien haciendo los ejercicios pero me duelen tanto los talones de tener que estar boca arriba que no puedo dormir. ¿Alguna sugerencia?
¡Bien hecho, ya estás en el buen camino! Los talones son un infierno, estoy de acuerdo. ¿Puedes probar cosas como poner una almohada debajo de los tobillos para levantar los pies? Durante el día, si levantas los pies, mantén los talones alejados de cualquier apoyo. Estoy segura de que recibirás muchos comentarios, porque esto es muy difícil, especialmente por las medias de soporte. ¡Mucha suerte y mis mejores deseos para tu recuperación xxx
Gracias, no llevo las medias porque vivo sola y me sería imposible cambiarlas.
Estoy manejando todo lo demás bastante bien, me preparé a mí misma y mi casa antes de la operación. Este foro ha sido una bendición.
I have not had these yet LOl something else to look forward too. try one of those foot spa's, I bought a knee pillow off the internet they do work, you will only get 15-20 min on your side to start with but it is great relief.
Dear Ann
Although not easy I found it perfectly possible to get the stretch stockings on by myself using a basic sock aid and did so for many weeks.
Cheers Richard

Eres más listo que yo. O quizás el problema son mis pies del número 11. Puedo ponerme algunos de mis calcetines normales, pero no puedo ponerme los calcetines de soporte cerca de mi talón.

Dear Michael
I wonder if you have the right size stretch stockings?
Good luck
Cheers

I managed to get some gel heel cups from the hospital which helped me and got this sorted before being discharged so had them ready to take home. Really useful in helping me to sleep.
Slipper socks help. Also great when you need to get up to go to the loo in the night. If you get anyone visiting, get them to rub some moisturiser into your feet. Makes a big difference. First thing I did after6Weeks of stockings was to get my friend to do a pedicure. It was bliss.
I had my operation on the 23rd. The first few nights out of the hospital my hands would get tingly and fall asleep and my heels were killing me! My PT suggested a regular pillow under my legs to keep pressure off my heels and it worked like magic! I learned to keep my hands at my side and that went away too. I'm amazed how well I am able to sleep on my back. Even 9 mo the pregnant I could keep off my stomach and side. I think the trick is the nighttime oxy 😜

Quizás no, pero es difícil encontrar calcetines que sigan quedando bien después de unos lavados. Veré qué me dan el 19 cuando, si todo va bien, finalmente me pongan la cadera de repuesto.

Dear Michael
I came out of hospital with two pairs so one gets washed and the other worn so both pairs have been hand washed every other day for several weeks now. I do not notice any increased difficulty in getting them on but perhaps as the elastic gets more use it gets easier.
Cheers Richard
Hola Ann
Puedes comprar botitas forradas de piel de cordero en Internet por unos £10. Se venden específicamente para úlceras por presión en los talones y se cierran con velcro para que puedas meter y sacar los pies sin doblarte demasiado. Tenía una ampolla antigua en un talón que se inflamó y me dolía mucho al estar boca arriba después de mi THR y estas botitas me ayudaron mucho. Incluso una pequeña esterilla de piel de cordero podría funcionar, solo descansa los talones en el lado peludo.
Espero que te sientas mejor pronto,

Ann, you need a sheepskin rug or something very soft under your heels at night or you will get bedsores. This is exactly what I had, and you find instance relief with sheepskin. You are spending lots of time lying down, if you can try and sit in a chair to get the air to your heels and away from the bed.
Good luck
Dear Rose
Good idea. I had five weeks of being on my bed and was concerned about bed sores and made a point of constantly moving my position. I also tried to reduce the pressure on my heels by putting a pillow under my legs which helped. I suffered from dry skin on my legs,advised E45 which helped.
Cheers Richard
Gracias, en realidad tengo algunas botitas de piel de cordero para rosas, las probaré. He hecho un punto de movimiento poco y a menudo según las instrucciones de mi cirujano
Gracias por todos sus consejos, intentaré. Otra consulta, ¿a qué distancia están logrando caminar?
Hi Ann
My mother, now 90 has had 2 hips and 2 replacements over the years. She was advised by a nurse some years ago that red, pressure sore heels could be helped by getting a faux sheepskin pet blanket. I was surprised, but duly went to a pet shop and found such a thing. She cut it down to size and has since successfully used it. I had my replacement 21st April and quickly developed sore heels. I found the piece of blanket worked for me. Similar to the sheepskin bootees that have been mentioned I guess.
Take care - hope you have friends popping in to see you as you say you are on your own. Best wishes for a quick recovery.
