i haven't any staples only glue !!!!

it is fascinating how different each operation is and the techniques used 

i 

I had 22 and 14 weeks on scar really looks good and disappearing all the time good luck with physio. maggie

glad to hear you are getting physio, I had to ask for mine when I left hospital

I did a very similar post just last week as I thought mine was a record at 37, having only had 28 in February when I had the first hip done but someone on my thread had a lot more, something like 50ish or more!

It's good that you are getting physio as many people don't get any at all, just what they get before they leave the hospital and a booklet.

Good wishes for your continued recovery. 2 weeks and 3 days post op today and I'm down to 1 crutch or no crutches for pottering round in the kitchen. It gets easier, keep up the good work 😊

By no means partcia i thought mine was alot i had and still have got them 70 staples i have a scar from the top of my waist stops just above my knee cap its the longest scar My GP as ever seen from an hip operation the surgon im under wont tell me nothing i was in hospital 30 days plus the surgon that did my opp took of and took my notes the him the nurse had to take them out in two attemps they put stitches so close to each other ive got them in a sterile bottle they gave me from the hospital hope this dosent boar you i will tell you about my bad experiences so long as you are on the mend thats all that matters.

ive had 2 hip ops in a matter of months apart as both have gone wrong last one was very complicated never been explained to why im bedbound from both ive never been able to bend my knee it totally locked up after ops,this time leg is 3 inch shorter, tilted pelvis didnt have this before any of the ops, foot drop in both feet ive never been able to walk ive pins, plates ,screws,and wires and 8hrs in theatre straight to H.D.U god im in horrendous pain this as been going on since my first op in october 18/19/2013 to May/2014 but over last 2 month its got worse ive had to lay flat on my back or even sit up since the first op Now the surgon thinks ive got bones cancer i have to go for a bone scan on 15/9/2015 to confirm it wich should have been done before now.

He new i was allergic to what was put in my hip from a blood test ive had done but he wont take all the things out because ive deterioated so much im so frail and too weak to Top it he told me he broke my femor when doing this operation i only found out May this yr he let it slip out he new i couldnt report him it had gone over the 12 month we have  i am so depressed all i do is cry im in so much pain i am on morphine and parocomol its got to pitch i dont think its working he cant even do an op to try and make the knee bend but he said he could before may but now hes got out of it because of the deterioation

so dont worry about the amount of staples you had conantrate now on your recovery it as worked for you think posativeI

I only had a smallest fall not through Artheritis I was reffered to a butcher surgon thats made me 10 times worse i cant belive Two could make a cock up excuse my expression especially from Two different hospitals im sorry ive gone on about my own experience.

so long as you do your exercises and dont over due it then you have to look forward to you getting back to near or all as possible as you can

Think we both can have this put into the guiness book of records when you here of ppl only haveing a 4 to 6 inch scar no were near so many staples it dose make you wander why!!! someone might beat us.

If i have to get out of bed to use the commod that nearly kills me and to rely on Care's to do everything for me except wash my hands and face i would be in worse state i always think there is someone worse of than me if i didn't have my pc i would be dead i can only get on it when the pain gets a bit bearable . Im so glad when i here other ppl who sail through hip ops and as worked for them im not resentful

towards them i just wish i could here from any one thats in the same postion as myself as i didnt think it could cause this amount of damage to make you bedbound..

I am still a young at heart 65yr old have all my factualtys there i was so fit went out with my son and daughter night clubing always dressed in the young fashion cloths hair done up to this happening now i look 90 worked for our own buisness to think Two surgons have took all my quailaty of life away and cant do no more for me im terrified of the results.

so you keep me informed on your progress forget about the staples look to the futre now.keep posting

take care
