Hi Gail that must have been absolutely horrendous for you, so I'm presuming your still in hospital, have they given you advice how to stop it happening again, maybe you did something that slipped it out, does your chair go down at the back, did you turn

I was sat just as I have being doing since discharge.
Its an up right chair loaned from a friend who also had a hip replacement and I was just sat talking to my daughter then it just crunched and bang out if the socket. Yes still in hospital.

You poor thing, I broke mine and I think that dislocation must be as bad if not worse, what it does is slips onto the edge of the socket, best thing to do is try not to move so you don't make it come completely out, if you take your time and ask about a hip brace to make sure you don't do anything to cause it to happen again

Oh no! That is awful! I'm not quite 2 weeks post thr.
Did they say what caused it to dislocate? What do you have to do now?
So sorry!!

Oh Gail. I am so sorry that this has happened to you. For some unknown reason this can happen to any of us. At least they managed to put the hip back and you haven't needed a revision.
I can only imagine what you must be feeling right now but you will soon be up to speed again. My neighbour did same of you and had it put back. Her biggest problem has been that she is too scared to move, go out or be left alone. She is nearly 80yrs.
Please don't do like her. Take your time but keep moving forward. Your new hip itself is obviously fine it will just be muscles/tissue etc that may groan for a few days.
Just be positive and dust yourself down go forward.
Thinking of you.

Thanks Sandra,
I know what neighbour means I'm so scared and they said it could happen again so that as scared me even more.
The hospital where I had the op has phoned and will call again so hopefully my consultant may be able to shed some light on it,so sad Samdra things were getting there less pain and a little more sleep now in agony and can't sleep.
Much love

As Richard also talks about, it's our muscles that hold hip in place so although now frightened, once your pain is sorted, you will have to walk and do whatever necessary to strengthen your muscles. This will reduce chance of it happening again.
It will be a balance between staying safe but still doing things.
I hope you are out of pain soon and feel better in yourself.
You have z lot of support on here so come and chat anytime.

Afternoon Gail. So sorry about what happened. Is this maybe a low chair that possibly breaks the 90 degree rule? I dislocated my hip possibly at the same time frame as you if not sooner. But I walked and exercised on it like that, dislocated, for a week or so before it was discovered it was dislocated. Dr couldn't pop my back in had to have a total hip revision 3 weeks later. Non weight bearing and no hip exercises or hip flexion past 80 degrees for 6 weeks. What is your dr saying?? God's blessings to you for healing. I know it's hard. Let us know how you're doing. Hugs 🤗 Linda

Dear Gail , my hip dislocated done this year January 9 and dislocated February 13 I sat on the couch and that was it horrible pain I never felt pain like that in my life I had I waited an hour and a half with someone open the door of my apartment condoif I didn't have my phone near me I would've been in big big trouble, I heard a loud click and I slid to the floor I had pushed back again as well it took them three tries I was told after they put me to sleep of course my pain feels like it's getting worst everything has to do now with the nerves and muscles The hip is back again but I'm in worse pain than before the surgery . I know how you feel , how are you feel now? God bless, mike

Hi mike,
Yes the pain was horrendous I screamed so loudly my neighbour came running as well as my husband.
On pain killers so unsure of level of pain as been in bed ever since I arrived with complete bed rest.
Just hope things will go back to my normal slow progress I'm gutted.
thank you
Gail 🙂

Hello Gail, this is a time game now when the hip Dislocates , my hip dislocated February 13 this year , it will get better with time , when this happened to me l went no where without cell phone fearing everything , this dislocated 8 months ago for me , l could tell you there's much healing that needs to take place . Stay active and careful, it happens , put it in the lords hands as lm doing, don't beat yourself up whether you broke the 90 day rule or not , we are human stuff happens, take it one day at a time . Mike peace🌞
