  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

I got a new hip

"But I'm supposed to take it easier . . . "

REALLY? I never would have guessed that one!


J/K, I know you are a man possessed to give it your all - which is why you wound up needed the hips replaced in the first place.

Take care, Kuli.
 
I've been dealing with a hip issue myself, for nearly two weeks. I even went into one of those quick-care health clinics (in Oregon, in the midst of a big trip), fortunately they don't see anything suspicious, X-rays and all, I thought I could have to "bail out" of this trip with a lot yet to do. It looks like tendonitis, no real surgical remedy, just hope that the Aleve will eventually take care of it.

Also very happy to see that those with the surgeries in this thread are doing reasonably well.

If anything like that had been found, I would have had to stop the trip right now, because my scheduling wouldn't allow me to lose the rest of the days of this trip, AND further days left due to surgery and recuperation.

I've been pretty lucky so far, in general.

You survived our hike!

In my experience it is the transition from dry to wet and back again when the pain is worst. Once the change sets in everything returns to 'normal'

The doc assures me that after six months the hip shouldn't care about the weather.

It hasn't yet been six months since the first one.....
 
Kuli needs to move to where Triple G lives....hot and dry!

Or it may just be that they are using different materials

I have a theory that the aches that occur with the change of seasons is down to bone and metal expanding and contracting at different rates.
I have no idea if this is true but it seems logical
I have a Titanium plate on my shoulder that, 14 years on, still gives me aches in Spring and Autumn
 
^ I've still got pretty much all of my own parts, some crowns and a stent withstanding.
I've been feeling the change of seasons in my knuckles off and on for years.
Ankle for a long time, too, until it finally seems to have healed.

I think so. A few hours ago in Ashland, Oregon I met a woman [half of a hetero married couple] who had hips replaced in 1999 and 2003. Neither hip has EVER been very good since replacement, she's always(?) been on crutches since.

Actually, her second hip went because they made the first replacement and her leg was an inch longer than before. (REALLY...that definitely sounds "primitive." In medicine, a one-inch mistake might be as significant as a trip to the Moon. I certainly assume that stuff has been solved.)

In contrast, you have had both hips replaced in recent months, and you did our five mile hike (complete with significant rises and drops) like a champ, and your hip (or both?) only started complaining near the end of the hike. You were "paying for it" before I left...but, still. I don't think such results existed 10 years ago.

That may be down to early onset of arthritis (sp)

In my case, 'no', but it was accidental. When my left hip was replaced, the surgeon measured the length against my right leg. Unfortunately, my right leg has always been almost an inch shorter than my left. Now, they're the same length. It took me months to get used to the difference.

I can't blame the surgeon, though. I mean, how was he to know? And I wasn't in much of a position to apprise him of the situation. And it's not something one tends to think about when one is enjoying the benefits of morphine.
 
LeicsDom,
Yes, I know it's likely arthritis - I'm trying not to use that dirty word.

Neil,
I know you were used to the offset, but now that you've had a chance to get readjusted to being even, is it better than before your accident?

Not for my back. After decades of being twisted 3 different ways, now it's being twisted a 4th way.
