Depo Medrone Injection

Hi all, I had both my hips replaced over a year ago, and the left was effected more than the right, but if you were inside me, the right hurt so much more, so I opted for the right to be operated on first.

The left was operated on 9 weeks later and has been very different in healing than the right.

I took special care on both sides and did the bed exercises and the slow return to walking every day.

  I found a backpack very efficacious for quickening the healing process for my trips to the supermarket, probably a round trip of a mile, and using the trolleys there as walkers.

Now I have just had a Depo Medrone Injection for the pain and growth of the muscles there in, but the injection is very painful, and effected me a little oddly, so I took the night off of work.

I should have listened to the surgeon and had the left done first, then the extra wear would not have happened in between operation, but I was in so much pain in my right, I was only thinking of a quicker return to work, as it was I only just made it before I was on Statutory Sick Pay, so in that regard, all went to plan and in time. 

It has only been a week since the injection, and I am already walking quicker and with no pain, however if I sit or stop, then there is pain again on starting off again, but it soon fades away, so again a work in progress, as it goes on. 

However...  it is important to tell the Dentist as the steroid injection can have an effect on any pain killing injection that Dentists use for their treatments, just been for a check-up and clean today. 

I did shoot the Airshow this year, and here are a few to show off here.

Thanks for looking in on my posts again.
