Well done all on progress! I am almost 5 weeks post op and doing really well. Back to gym able to do at least 25 mins on bike and walking normally, od twinge and aching but thats all, just trying to get stronger every day!

Triple 07, you can opt for local follow ups, that is what I did and seems standard to be offered.

hope all are well!

hi pipes, doing well I think, 1.5 weeks post opand been able to get around at home without crutches, always take them with me if going outs can't walk properly yet.

not in hardly any pain if I'm careful, can't lift left properly and burning has come out a treat.hada few twinges yesterday whitch worried me slightly, same as before op, is is normal?

hope to get to do short drives next week! Glad sun out as otherwise think I'd go stir crazy. Hope everyone doing well!

Hey

Hope you are all well. I had op on Monday morning, they gave me hip block but think it went wrong as had to give me loads of morphine and tramadol in recovery and ended up with dead leg from knee down. So I couldnt get out of bed until Tuesday. Saw Mr Conoly who was pleased they shave a bit of bone and re-attached some torn cartilage.

Now just mustering the crutches, stairs are the worst and currently pain in groin when walking, and where the brusing is, but otherwise ok. Hope to be able to drive in two weeks, as least Mr Conoy suggested I might be able to. Hope to hear soon about physio.

Everyone else getting on ok? 

Loverunning, bet it was great to be part of the London atmosphere and an acheivement in yourself to get around London all day, well done. 

Hoping to boredom doesn't get too much, bit tired today but not as bad as I thought I might be. Chin up all

Hey Moozer

Great to hear you are getting back to normal way of life, as in swimming and walking. Really wierd my pain kicked in this last few weeks. Going in on Monday and have to stay in, just be good to get in there any see what they do

Did you spend the first week at home or did you manage to get out and about on your curtches.

Looking forward to the challenge...a little...eek,

Hope everyone else getting on well!!

thanks loverunning, good to know. Have pre-op this evening so sure will find out more then.

Hope everyone is well!!
