    Dear Pat

    If your fitness level was poor before hip surgery and or if you were overweight then regaining muscle strength is bound to take time.

    Regarding the clicks you are experiencing this needs to be investigated.

    Cheers Richard

      Thanks RichardKen

      I think l will go the walk in centre as l am concerned. It feels like everything moving. As l said lve had two replacements but never had this feeling.

      I know after so long and being older things will take longer. Let you know how l get on.

      Dear Pat

      Lovely day here for a walk. Hope you get some answers to put your mind at ease.

      I'm off to the local hospital this afternoon to hear what my latest PSA reading is. Always a nervous time!

      Cheers Richard

      Dear Renee

      Thanks. All went well as my PSA is still at a level that really cannot be measured...phew!

      Cheers Richard

      Dear Pat

      Thanks. PSA is so that a meaningful measure was not possible. Is your husband's a first time or a routine test?

      Cheers Richard

    hi pat, 

    warm welcome to the hippies forum ...

    I am a little confused about your question --- you can not put full weight on your leg and you are walking ... what percentage of weight can you put on your leg? Sometimes  this popping sensation occurs while the hip is healing due to a tendon, called the psoas tendon, rubbing against the new hip.

    Does it hurt?   If you are very worried, maybe you can see the surgeon sooner ..

    Let us know how you are getting on, okay

    big warm hug

    renee

      Thanks Renee.

      That was the problem before the head of the joint was rubbing on the tendons, l couldn't even lift my leg high enough to put my jeans on.

      Will see how l go tonight and ring drs or go to walk in centre.

      I had cortisone injection but just ran out because of scar tissue.

      I am on crutches & have been told not to put weight on foot so only walking on tip toe on that leg. Till go back to surgeon next week.
