weightloss vs pain
Posted , 10 users are following.
Hi
I think I may know the result but has anyone reading had a significant amount of pain reduction after weight loss?
the problem seems to be that my consultant doesnt feel my hip wear is bad enough to operate THR but how it is for me is after walking a short way the pain down my leg is excruciating and need to sit down - maybe you all have/had pain far worse??
Did you have pain all the time or anyone like me - after a sit down I am much better for another 500 yds whatever, he said all the negs that a false hip isnt as good as what Ive got, also that Im notreally old enoughin the scheme of thing! (61)
is he just inundated with numbers and puttng me off?
any help much appreciated, and please please dont anyone take my situation personally

im not totally sure what your question is but I will share my bit of hip pain and weight issues. I am very overweight, have been for about 10 years and the consultant said that my hip was urgent but I should try to lose as much as I could before my op. I lost 14 pounds and have to say I was amazed at the difference. After my op I progressed really really well with recovery but noticed that as I gradually put weight on my hip definitely ached more. When I put on 7 lbs I started aching a bit more and decided to get back on the plan. My new hip is fabulous but I need to help myself by getting some of the weight off. Doctor says that for each pound off I am taking 4 bounds of pressure off the hips and knees.
Good luck with both the weight loss and finding a consultant to work with you on improving your mobility.

Ahhh ... LOL ... not really funny, but it is, isn;t it ....what else can we do ....
I got the diagnosis from my ortho surgeons who just looked at the xray ... did you have one ? even I could see the the difference -
with the first one I still had to go through the protocol of getting treatment like cortisone shot, physical therapy etc .even though I could barely walk -
here in Holland, before the x-ray, my GP thought it could be bursitis ... but noooo, it was bone-on-bone of the right hip ...
what kind of diet or plan are you on to lose the extra pounds? some of the medication I take also cause weight gain ....
I don't think you were too soft ... these visits can be intimidating - did you have someone with you?
I believe that once the second hip is done and i can walk properly etc. i will be able to feel more fit and you know, lose the additional kilos ...
I sincerely wish you a lot of strenght and that the right person will come into your life to help you with this, soon -
light and love send
renee
