Dynamic Screw
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi I broke my hip 5 weeks ago in a freak accident I know I am 63 but was very fit used to walk 6 miles a day. They decided I should have Dynamic Screw I am now scared it will break down. Today have a on and off pain in my groin not really bad. I did walk further yesterday than usual I also have private PT which has helped enormously as had a problem with my knee. Use one crutch inside and 2 outside what I find hard is the depression is this normal as I am usually a positive half full person.

Sorry to hear. I am also very active. Had my second hip replacement this year November 12th. Had no issues with the first one in January. This time the exact opposite. My left knee is KILLING me. I had an MRI yesterday to see if something was injured in the OR. I hope you get better quicker than me.

Hi Sally, I had two hips this year also 10 months apart. I have been depressed also. I have been on a crying jag for four days now. I am at the six week mark. I think I need to get out of the house today somehow.
