my back is not cooperating
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi all ... so sorry to come back here with an issue ... I am 14 weeks post op from R THR - it all went well until groin pain appeared in week 4 - x ray on May 13 showed rapid decline of cartilage in right hip in 6 months time ... I have to find another place to live by August 01, 2015 as I was given noitce to leave (in week 4 post-op... what timing?) --- now for the not so great part - my back is killing me ... can barely walk anymore and doing the stretches is so challenging ... Physical Therapist is not really of big help here ... she puts me on the stationary bike and massage the spot ... any suggestions ? almost feels like pre-op and feeling down right now ....
p.s. I am not receiving any notifications since Sunday .... didn't mess with settings or any thing ... it is not in Spam folder - any body knows what to do ?
warm hug to all

Love and support but no solution I'm afraid. Have you been in touch with your surgeon or been to your gp?

I am so sorry you are going through this.
.Have you ever thought it could be your bed or the way you are sleeping / sitting that may be causing your back pain? They say a harder bed is better than a soft one when you have had a THR.
Just three things to think about.
You really are going through it having to move at a time like this too. So not fair on you.
I know what you mean when some hospital staff do not listen to you. Maybe you should contact patient support at your hospital. Any issues they can and will deal with them. You could also ask to have a different therapist if yours is no good.
I am not getting notifications either and have not done so for over a week I have no idea on here where the setting are so I know I have not touched mine either. Very strange.
Sending you a warm hug.x

Hailea, I sleep in a cupboardbed (had to look this up) - small, narrow and I can barely turn ... It might be very possible that this causes my problem ... good thing I am moving, right ? - I called doctor's office and was told to double pain meds -
no sciatica ... Network is working hard to find me a place -
A little cumbersome to retrieve notifications but I can't do without you all -
warm hugs

I really hope you get sorted out so you can relax soon. Not good to have to move house on top of everything else you're having to deal with. Keep positive it won't be forever. x

So sorry you are feeling down - the housing issue must be a real worry for you. Do you have a social care system you can contact to give you some advice or a good friend or relative who can help you
It's just good to share the burden at times like this. Can your GP or specialist give you any advice with your back
Can't help with the PC problem, but thinking of you - you are such a help to others
Kindest wishes and take care
Linda xx

Renee, kan even niet anders zeggen dan dat je nogal aan het verkeerde eind trekt op het monent zeg. 'Kolere' ging de eerste keer dat je vertelde te moeten verhuizen al, nu werd het nog een tandje verder aangevuld.
Ik denk trouwens dat het wel heel goed je bed kan zijn trouwens! Als ik vroeger bij mijn tante gibg logeren mocht ik lekker en leuk zo'n bed gebruiken. Als jochie van 10-11 paste ik al slecht! Een normaal bed, niet te zacht, is dan echt beter. Met of zonder heup.
Die rugpijn, is dat langzaam gekomen of abrupt? Verval van de ongeopereerde kant kan het veroorzaken, ik merk zelf dat ik met te weinig rust verkeerd ga lopen en dan begint mijn rug na een tijdje ook te sputteren. Wil het liever niet voorstellen, maar hebbie al geprobeerd om een dag met twee krukken te lopen, om te zien of twee krukken wat verschil maken in de pijn?
Heel, heel veel sterkte met woning jacht, ik weet hoe verrekte beroerd het kan zijn iets te vinden. Als je particulier zoekt, is Direct Wonen misschien een optie? Die hebben mij in het verleden eens in een paar weken aan een studio geholpen toen ik omhoog zat.
