scar update
Posted , 9 users are following.
Evening everyone,
well heres the update as promised, today I spoke to the hospital and they said i have been over doing it for just ( weeks post. I sent them pics of my scar and they said if they thought there was a problem they would call me right back, well no call, so I guess they think it's ok, but i have to say i'm not happy, I was feeling great no pain, and now it feels like I have gone back 4 weeks, it's still very sore and angry looking, and it feels everything if stiff when I walk, feels like it's deep inside my scar, oh I don't know.... wish I had have stuck in at med school lol, anyway I have a gp appt tomorrow for a different matter but I will get him to take a look anyway, I'm going to post a pic of it, so I hope this does'nt offend anyone, but it seems to me that on here we have all been there and someone may have had exactly the same thing, I think I'm worried more because I did'nt get any of this at 9 weeks with the first opp. oh... and also the hospital said I should not have been on my static bike until after my 12 week asessment, any help would be much appreciated,
Love,
Lynne.

no it's not swollen , it's a bit warm to the touch, the hospital say that it's the insides mending, just as you say, I guess I'll just have to wait and see

You are right ... looks angry and annoyed ... again, maybe the fabric of your soft leggings might have irritated the scar - you know, you get sort of sweaty and all that --- hope you are not offended by my opinion -
Scar from 1st THR has been really strange - later in the healing process it started to make her presence known .... stabbing and pulling and all kinds of discomfort - still does ... now I have the scar from 2nd THR - staples were removed one week ago but I still have some dressing on it for "protection" - it is beautifully healed, closed etc, but still feel so tender ...
maybe you can put some dressing on it for now -
I am not sure if I understand the not-riding-static-bike until 12 weeks assessment .... strange people - wish they would really get their act together ...riding the stationary bike is one of the mildest exercises you can do early in recovery ... not that I do them ...
try not to worry too much - maybe put some Arnica or Aloe vera on it ... or gently massage around it --
big warm hug,
renee
