Pain

i am going for my pre med tomorrow. Hip replacement op June 4th. Not long to wait now. As you all know it's painful having an athritic hip but oh my goodness it's been so bad this past two days. I can hardly put any weight on my leg. I could cry. Trying really hard to be thankful I just have a week to go until I'll be pain free. Feeling sorry for myself. 😓

I'm day 22 post op and 46 years old, I'd had OA since I was 30, the pain and limp was terrible but I was still terrified of the op and put it off far too long. The realisation (when spinal wore off) that I had NO OA pain was quite overwhelming!
I can now walk 2 miles with two sticks with no pain, I've a long way to go but boy was it worth it!!
You go girl, be thinking of you on the 4th, better days are on the way.
Big hugs,
Fiona

Even with everything I had to go through, I would do it again, but just with my new surgeon

It's your body's way of telling you that's it I've done as much as I can to keep going now that the end is in sight I can give up, and boy does that hurt!
That happened with my first one, the pain was unimaginable (except for us on here who know what each one is going through!), but as soon as the operation is over and the healing process begins, what a difference, no pain from OA and a whole new mind set.
Good luck and we'll all be rooting for you.

health I have had to put it off until August, but I was like you at the beginning, really nervous and worried but after you will be so relieved.
