My hip replacement surgery was May 25. I had to take blood thinners due to a previous clot. Apparently, because of the thin blood, I bled into the hip cavity causing a pool of fluid. Now it's stuck and believe me, it is painful. I am not walking on my own yet and am beyond frustrated.
Anyone heard of this? I have tried to "walk through it" and am simply not able to do it. Plus, I can't fall down because of the replacement or it may dislocate. I am using a cane and now, 4 months after surgery, am beginning to feel quite hopeless. My surgeon says to wait and if it doesn't reabsorb in 6-8 weeks, he wants to do surgery. I do not want another surgery, but I don't want to be on a cane forever either. That was the whole point of the surgery.
Anyone? |

Cannot say, but I would trust your orthopedists on this one. Good luck to you. |

Bless your heart Michele! I hope you feel better soon. I can imagine how frustrating it would be to have pain that outright is NOT TMS. I wish the best for you!

Thank you. Any idea how long it takes to work through this? I'm doing water therapy and home exercises. I also started acupuncture, wanting to do something besides sit around doing nothing. |
