Hey Hippies smile

I'm afraid curiosity has killed the cat.  I can't help but wonder what were people doing when their hips have dislocated after surgery?

I'm still very scared this will happen one day when I least expect.

I am now 17 months post surgery and a few months ago whilst rolling over in bed I ended up in excruciaing pain and I though I had dislocated my hip but it was OK I didn't.  I've been told if a dislocation has occured you would have lost movement in your leg so I was relieved when I tried to move my leg that it was OK.

Has anybody had a similar close call or experinced a dislocation?

PS I love hearing everyone's stories smile

    Beth i was told if you dislocated hip i would not be able even

    walk or move leg and is very painful. I had few times dislocated

    shoulder and it hurt lots and i couldn't move arms at all. After about 5 times of my shoulder dislocation i end up to had

    Operations. The dislocation of hip must be simile or even worst.

      Hi Madia,

      Ouch poor shoulder!  When I had my close call the pain was really bad.  I can't imagine how much it would hurt to actually dislocate it propery.  I keep trying not to think about it and try to be careful.
