Hip displacement
Posted , 15 users are following.
i popped my hip out three days ago. No one home with me .....tried to move but it was locked and when I moved just a fraction slammed to the floor (was in the bathroom).....hit my head against the tub and realized I had to get thru the pain and try to move to get to a phone. Went in fraction moves at a time as I had no ability to move entire left side.....besides the awful pain every time I did move. Took me about an hour to get to phone and call 911. Two rescue teams came and 4 or 5 medical men came and figured out how to move me. Got to the emergency room, had X-rays (crying a bit for the pain ). Thank goodness for the emergency room dr. Who very skillfully popped it back. I'm sure your all wondering what did I do to pop this out? I am in my 7th mo. And had been doing extremely well but for pain in my thigh. And legs. Had f.u. Appt. scheduled for May 14th. Anyway.......I had a cut on my left leg near the ankle. I went to apply a bandaid reaching over from right to left while standing. I honestly don't think that that should have popped it because I didn't cross legs or knees.....FYI as I live alone I have decide to order a medical alert necklace as the medical assistants mention to me. It was a terrifying helpless experience to not be Abe to move, be in excruciating pain and have no phone.

That sounds awful, I was cringing at the thoughts of it, it's good to hear you have come out of it so well, you are made of strong stuff! It also worried me some what, Im hoping to go back and work in construction, I think I'm going to have to get myself up the ladder a bit quicker than I thought and get a job pushing a pen rather than doing the donkey work!
Look after yourself, all the best Steve
