Bad News!! 😫😥

Well today I went to see my surgeon. I'm 3 weeks out. He had X-rays done and found out I dislocated my hip!!?? After speaking to him I think we figured out when & how... About 2 weeks ago I was taking a shirt out of my drawer. I was not facing the drawer so I was twisted toward my left side, I had thr on the right. When I proceeded to close the drawer I noticed a kind of sharp pain in my right buttock. I thought "oh sh*t what was that?!?" I had pain on that buttock for several days and when I talked to my therapist she felt I pulled a muscle since the pain went away. Only thing is as time went on I have been unable to put weight on that leg. Last Thursday and Friday I was in a lot of pain. But for the most part I have been putting some pressure on that leg, stand on both legs and do my exercises. Dr was amazed!! So hippies it's VERY IMPORTANT TO TWIST LEFT OR RIGHT!! Always stay straight in whatever you are doing!! Has this happened to anyone else?? I will be going back in the OR Thursday to see if he can pop back in without having to cut me again. Under local anesthesia. Y me??? ??

Hi Linda, Truely sorry youve had this experience. I'm simply amazed that you managed to do anything at all. My hip dislocated twice,and each time couldn't move it at all. It was like having a dead weight attached. Ive since found out, after having a complete revision that the stem had been put in at a 45 degree angle! However even with complete dislocations they were put back both times without cutting, but needed to wear a body brace for 6 weeks. Not very comfortable but gives you the security of the support. Good luck with yours. Hope it all goes well. Love and hugs PatsyX
