Cheese to go with my whine?
Posted , 11 users are following.
I'm impatient, that gives me energy but also makes me as grumpy as a Crocodile in a bath tub! It's now 10 weeks since my hip replacement, I'm 56. It was going pretty well, the usual stuff..learning to walk again .Am I being really too impatient ? When I walk I have quite a lot of pain in the outside of my thigh..it actually feels as if someone has tied a wire tornequet around it! I have dogs, lots of 'em and walking is so important to us but within just a few yards (old money) this vice like grip grabs me at the top of my thigh, it does feel as if the muscle has gone into spasm. Oh and another question...I have an audible click as I walk..normal ? There is no sweeling anywhere but the whole area of the thigh and across the hip is still very tender...Help please? xx

As for clicks-and-clunks it seems most of us get them (I'm seven weeks post TLHP and clnking with other other step!) My surgeon assures me they are absoutely normal and to do with "tissue realignment".
But really think you should go to the Dr. about the thigh pain.
Good Luck.

Have you had a recent xray. It may be the tendon ifs slipping over the prostheses or the hip is s slipping in the docket.all this would cause the symptoms your having call your doctor and get in there soon.
