Almost one year and am needing Osteo at frequent intervals . Sacro iliac joint painful and pelvis misaligned per Osteo who sees this all the time in THR patients. These professionals pick up on all the fallout post surgery and keep Schtumm most of the time. It ain't over yet....

But have to say I'm taking a new supplement to help strengthen ligaments/tendons and I believe it's helping.... My knee and foot/ankles are worse but I "think" I'm getting some healing going on.
Now I'm in the U.S. so don't know if this product I use is avail in the UK....
So if anyone wants to know about it, ask and I'll send a PM....I am understanding comment on a specific product is not permitted here....I'm learning the rules I think. J

I'm sorry you are having problems...its horrible isnt it.
Mine is slightly different....2nd THR and four weeks post op I was doing an NHS exercise......and there was an awful crack. Ambulance came, I went into hospital, had an X Ray and was told you've fractured your greater trochanter bone Nothing we can do about it, it will heal by itself but will take a long time......8 and a half months later I'm still in pain, on 2 crutches and having problems sleeping.
Turns out I have osteoarthritis as well as everthing else but they knew I had ostepinia befor the op {pre cursor to osteoporosis} you would think I would be told not to docertain exercises....but no....not a bit of it.
I spoke briefly to my own consultant last week who says it wont heal, I might progress to one crutch but thats it....I have a proper consultation with him in about 10 days so armed with my list I'll ask loads of questions and get a def. prognosis. He's the first one to give me a straight answer.....everyone else has waffled....it will heal.....eventually!!!!!
Love

I havent tried any alternative/dietary etc as yet.
It was only last week that I was told by the consultant that i always see that i wouldnt get better.......I asked and he answered....he knows i like straight answers.
Up until then I was expecting {like different consultants in the hospital, physios etc said} it to get better. It was very frustrating that it wasnt getting better. I see my own consultant who is lovely......in aboyt 10 days and will have a really good chat with him and see what he says then I will think of other things.
It depends what you mean by weight bear......I can weight bear...eg in the house I dont use a crutch but I waddle like a duck and am not very steady. My consultant says "safety first" because of the osteoporosis....use whatever I need.
After I see him and hear what he haas to say.....I'll come back to you or anyone else that has any advice....I'll bear yours in mind.
My only problem is I have epilepsy {from 18 months old....not 68} But since my last pregnancy 33 years ago its been well controlled...I drive lead a normal life {whatever that is } and I wont take any meds that might clash with those meds.....I refuse to rock boat after 33 years of being stable. Apart from that......no problem trying things

I have heard of skyllcap but thats all......but sdince my epilepsy is so stable I would need a very good reason to mess about with those particular drugs. If i was having seizures OK anything is worth a try but I'm not.
Think about this.....I live outside a small village......cant walk very well now so reply on my car......I would be lost witout it......So I would like to stay independent so why mess with my tablets?
