Burning in hip
Posted , 8 users are following.
My brother is on day 3 and in hospital, but is describing a burning pain in his hip, he is also very hot (but it is boiling in the ward) has anyone else had this? Do we need to be worried? Thank you hippies !

Perfect place to ask the medical staff. Have to say first week is dreadful but gets better in leaps and bounds after that
Hope all is ok

I was burning up in the hospital and afterwards not because of the heat, but because of the healing. My temperature was up a little, but not a lot. And it I touched around the incision it was so much hotter than the surrounding skin. I've had 2 knee replacements and had that both times with those too. I'm a little surprised that everyone hasn't chimed in saying they had the same thing.
The staff will keep an eye on his temperature for infection. Otherwise it's one of the strange but normal things that happen after the replacement.
How are you going Rose? Having your brother do this so close to yours could be stressful.

Thank you for your post, I was really relieved to read them, as at the time we could not find a nurse or dr!
