10th day
Posted , 13 users are following.
Good morning lovelies, well this is my 10th day after op. Is it normal to still be in such discomfort. Swellings gone down quite a bit today, yesterday I thought my skin was going to burst. ย I think I just need reassurance that I'm not the only one who's finding this whole thing very painful and slow. I suffer with anxiety so nausea has been a big problem for me, also I've always been a keep fit freak and not being able to do the thing that makes me feel good are taking its toll. ๐

I was incredibly swollen from my stomach downwards for about 5 weeks and my ankles are still swollen now at 7.
Dont worry, it is very early days. I think people dont realise that they are going to be sore, stiff, achy and swollen after surgery for a while x

It is very normal to be sore at this stage. So many people see freinds and relitives who've had THR and they are back to normal they never knew the severity รฒf the procedure. Make sure you take pain relief it's your friend right now and keep up physio. I'm 8 months down the line, been back to work for 5 months and feel great. Be patient it does get better.
Good luck.

Normal I am afraid it takes quite a while be patient, take pain meds rest up and also keep up physio it will be fine. ย It's really very early days.

Little update. Hubby took me supermarket today. I went on my crutches but I walked around pushing the trolley instead. (It's the little things)

I well remember my first recoveryย using the flat floor of our local supermarket to get my first 'out of the house' walking experience.
Keep a log of your triumphs and then look back in a few weeks - you will be amazed at your recovery progress.
I logged my progress on my website - and many others have been using it to gauge their own progress. ย Don't be discouraged however if you cannot do everything someone else can manage, we are all unique and we all recover at different rates.
