Hi. I'm new to this forum and hip replacements.
Posted , 8 users are following.
I had a THR 12 days ago and would love suggestions as to how to cope with buttock cramp after doing some of the exercises - it is so painful that I have to stop. I'm a sufferer from cramp anyway and on quinine on a daily basis. Also it would be good to hear what is 'average' recovery at this stage and then weekly through to 6 and then 13 weeks. I'm on crutches, managing stairs and can walk a little using one crutch only - but not for long. I'm following the physios advice re exercise but any tips would be very helpful. Thanks

I love your comments and am proud of you how you give so much support to others ...it was/is not easy for you to be so far away from home and family - I think that the people you nurse are very lucky to have you -
do you already know when you will have the other hip done?
take care of yourself okay ... you are number one !

Hi Pippi
Your doing well. Please remember that you have had a major operation. It's early days. It can take a year to fully recover.Please. consider hydrotherapy & Reflexology, both very good. Regards Amanda

Hi Amanda. Thanks. I know it's early days and am (mostly!) doing as I'm told. Resting when necessary and doing all the exercises. Getting better on a daily basis. Thanks again.
