AFTER HIP REPLACEMENT
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi Hippies,
Am 8 weeks on after hip replacement and am keen to keep the rest of my bones for as long as possible even though like many of us I have arthritis in many joints. Whats the best way to keep our bones in good order for the over 60's. Have tried many supplements but haven't noticed any difference.
Regards to all, from North Wales

I have a Pilates video for the over 50's think I'll give it a try.
Have just read on the arthritis uk web page that a new study of stair climbs after hip replacement has shown they wear out quicker!!!
Will ask the surgeon tomorrow at my first check.

Some medical folks advocate an acid- free diet - avoiding citrus fruits, prepared meats ( sausages, corned beef etc), alcohol, animal fats. And to add the following to the diet - cider vinegar and honey 3 times a day, black molasses (1teasp) 3 X a day. Baths with Epsom salts said to be good.
Seeing my surgeon this afternoon ( 6 week check up) - but he's not the most communicative chap!
Best wishes!

My sister has horses and gives them glucosamine - She takes it herself too (adjust the dosage of course) and tells me to do the same -
I am not taking them yet, but considering it ...
Anybody here experience with this supplement?

Difficult to know with supplements - maybe it's partly psychological - if you think it's doing you good you feel better? Although they're expensive, I would always only buy good quality - organic where possible - supplements.

Are you feeling well?
The driving is quite an experience isn't it! I felt like a learner and a bit of a liability, but was driving so slowly I was almost at a standstill anyway. It didn't help having the children and dogs all jumping around in the back!!!!

I found it strangely reassuring, as my thoughts on the way home was that I certainly had not 'caused' this health problem. I could not have done things any differently. It just happens. Gentle exercise, a good diet and hopefully your other hip will last.
