My Dad has excessively worn joints result of some pretty awefull Chemo over the last 10years (mantle cell lymphoma)
This has destroyed the cartilage in both hips, he has been on the waiting list until he is in remission. The have said he needs to excesise to build muscle, but the right hip pops in and out of joint, he can barely walk, and when he does it sounds like someone is spashing bags of bubble wrap. He is meeting with anithatist tomorrow morning 🙏🤞🤞.

Thanks Tom. He has good days but i dont think he has been pain free for at least 10years. Wouldnt leave a dog like this.
As a shipwright chippy he has always been active, never smoked, loved a beer, and ate relatively healthily. God this thing is horrid. Sorry to bring the thread down. Was just happy reading the positives. Id be happy if he could drive his camper again. The bought a new one 2years ago and the start of 2020 he lost the feeling in his feet (necropsie) caused by the chemo and hip damage. He now cant lift that important foot ,the brake one 🤣😂😂, so he decided to stop driving.

I was 29 when I had mine. I’m 58 and it’s still going strong!
I’m sure the recovery period will have changed but I was up and walking in day 1. I was discharged when I could manage steps and had 2 sticks. They gave me a raised toilet seat and a contraption for putting socks/tights on. I had 2 sticks and was recommended I used them for 6 weeks. I was told not to drive for 6 weeks also. Mine really changed my life. I used a wheelchair prior to the op. I had 3 very young children. Good luck. It’s an amazing life changing operation x x Edited at 08:38 AM. |

One suspects it's not the same in every NHS Trust but where my Wife went for her operation they ran a class/lecture circa 4 weeks before Surgery to give advice on what get to assist the Patient after the procedure such as mobility aids (most are free anyhow) and what to expect afterwards.
Plus some books were given out on the exercise regime to follow, how to do simple exercises in the house and support available if somebody lives alone etc. Most helpful.

My hubby has had both his done, one age 50, the other at 53. First was general anaesthetic, the second was epidural. The second was much better regarding recovery and bruising. He was walking up and down the stairs the day after the op.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, I’ve been told today that I need both hips replaced, this was at a private physiotherapist appointment, she’s given me a letter to take to my GP and she recommended paying to see a consultant initially as the NHS wait time is around 100 weeks! apparently I can then go onto the NHS waiting list, it’s a bit scary, she said for my age my hips are among the worst she’s ever seen 😢😢😢
