Very uncomfortable buttcheek
Posted , 5 users are following.
I know some of you have mentioned this problem and I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions as this has been going on too long I think.
I’m 19 days post op and the buttcheek on the side I had my THR is really uncomfortable. Feels like I’ve been sitting on it forever. I did not have this problem with my first THR but this time I’ve felt this since day 1.
I can’t lay on my good side for more than about 5 mins. But it sure feels good while I can. So I’m basically on my back or sitting.
Anyone have suggestion on how I could give this buttcheek a rest?

So I’m sure Its because of being up and around now that I think of it. So i think it’s the joint in that area possibly?
Sarah I have some BioFreeze but was not sure if I could use it so early.
Do any of you take Ibruprofen for discomfort? I know before surgery we shouldn’t.
And now I’m on a blood thinner.
I’m only able to lay on my other side not my new hip for 5 mins.
Thank you for ur suggestions. Will try laying slightly off that side.
May you all recover nicely.

Regarding Iboprufen it says in my Clexane injection leaflet not to use it. I don’t know why but I haven’t taken it for that reason. I need something for my pain so will ask the district nurse who is coming tomorrow.

As for the Ibruprofen my instructions said not to use prior to op because it thins your blood. I’m going to call my doc in the morning too. Make sure I can use it for the swelling while still on a bl
I also have spinal stenosis and a pelvic tilt. Good gosh!!
