Quick Question to anyone Post THR
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hello everyone
I hope you are all well. I am 3 weeks post op today Left THR. I am wearing compression stockings, have crutches, taking Pradaxa 220mg also taking naproxen 500mg and omeprazole plus some other meds I've been on for a while. Today, I have noticed on my right leg, the non-operated, that below the knee at the back of the leg around 18 bruises have appeared, now they are not like blue-purple, in fact, they are actually yellow, with some dark, they were not there yesterday, so I am totally puzzled. I just wondered anyone else had this ?
Many thanks as always

What a strange thing, the very next day they had all but disappeared except for 2 of them. Weird.

Dear Katleen
I am on 150mg of Pradaxa twice a day and was very aware that I had very considerable bruising but as far as I recall it was only to my surgery leg and it was on the day of surgery and for a week or more. I don't think the bruising was blue. I put it down to how I was pulled about! I did not have bruising as far as I recall when I had the original surgery twenty years ago but then I was not on blood thinning medication back then.
Best wishes, Richard

Very odd. You obviously mend very quickly!

Totally normal, you can get all sorts of bruises in all sorts of places. One person on this forum had a hand-print shaped bruise. It's a brutal operation, especially when they have to dislocate your original hip.
