Double hip replacement imminent
Posted , 9 users are following.
I am so glad to have found this website. My operation is due 16th August and I am dreading it because I will be legless for a while ??. The nurse at the preoperative visit told me to stop taking hrt prior to the date of op and I am really suffering. The weather is clammy enough but my hot sweats on top of that are making me really miserable.....and I haven't had my op yet. ??

I had bi-lateral done 2 years ago. Difficult at the time but further on have to say best decision ever plus only one recovery & not stressed about having to repeat the experience. Good luck you will be fine & for all you double hoppers - hip hop hooray??

I'm not too sure why you have been told to stop your HRT. I was told that it was ok to continue with my HRT - for which I was truly thankful.
Where are you based?

Isn't it interesting that each hospital has differing protocols. My hospital (Sussex) wasn't bothered about me being HRT at all, and I specifically raised the issue.

i just got home 1 hr ago, only 1 hip (posterior) replaced. I was in the hospital for approx 30 hrs. i was up & walking about 5 hrs later. i am a bit tired & my hip feels a bit stiff, but otherwise I am fine.
Good Luck, you will be as good as new soon !!!

Thank you !!
I had my other hip done in Jan 2013, and rehabbed hard, I will do the same thing with this one. I expect to have a perfect recovery as I did with my other hip !
