One thing great about all the modern technology is that there are forums for just about any problem you may have. It really helps with that alone feeling. Thanks to all that have commented

thanks Linda I'm 62 an I feel like I'm falling apart. I ignored the pain for too long but I can't go back. I now have this frozen shoulder pain I don't know what's going on. I've always been so healthy but I'm grateful I know it could be a lot worse

One thing at a time ... although if you find a good physiotherapist and RMT they will sort you out! I developed a frozen shoulder after 10 weeks in a cast due to a bad fall and they worked wonders on me in about 5 sessions. And they kept me sane pre-thr as I am allergic to many anti-inflammatories and pain meds. Look for Dorothy 04749's recent post about deep tissue massage - so funny.
Take care,
L

I can't believe it's been almost 4 weeks it's flew in for me, it seems like I just got it done lol. Thank-you for your comment. Yeah my family are keeping me busy! Soon I'll be hopefully back to normal till my left hip replacement!
Hope your well??

I Agree, knowing I am not the only one going through post op from THR is reassuring. I am one month out to the day. I can't figure out why when I walk I feel a catch on the replacement side. its almost as if it shortens my stride. I have been very aware of my stride, making sure I complete it evenly, with the same bend in the knee etc. Im thinking it must be muscular or ligature related and they just haven't strengthened yet. I was hoping by now to be back to hiking, or at least walking a few miles.

You're so right on that! I felt so alone when I had mine done-wish I'd known this place....but I do now! And hopefully I can give some advice to a newly suffering hippie! X
