Green Light for my Right hip replacement 6 months after Left

Posted , 8 users are following.

Hello All, I had my LHR last July and the pain relief has been fantastic however I'm still unable to walk unaided as my right hip has now got no bone space whatsoever and actually clicks on any form of movement, I was with the surgeon on Tuesday and he's put me on the list for a replacement asap my question is has anybody else been completely immobile for a number of years because of the same problem and if so are you now able to walk unaided without looking like a penguin I'm concerned that I'll always be dependant on crutches/walking stick/wheel chair etc, any encouragement will be greatfully recieved.

    Immobility is very limited unless you have a neurogenative bone disorder.

      I've got spinal stenosis which I've had for over 20 years this complicates matters but reading the stories on here gives me hope that once my right hip is done I'll be better able to get on with life. Thank you for responding.

    I’ve got it as well but the back pain keeps me from walking a bunch.  Have you ever tried Radio Frequency (Ablation ) treatment for the stenosis.  Right now I have little back pain because of it.  Lasts about a year and is minimally invasive

      Well hello Ducksoup and thank you for responding, I've just looked that procedure up and will speak to my surgeon 're this as once this hip has been replaced I can then concentrate on my spine. It's good to hear it's working for you.
