Post Hemiarthroplasty (hip Replacement) Posted: 07-14-05 22:04pm
I had a hemiarthroplasty 6 months ago, due
to a fall where I broke the neck of my hip
right at the ball.
I have had physical therapy for 6 months.
I am still having to use a cane, because
without it I have pain in the groin area,
and also in the hip area itself, and down
along the lower part of my leg, and walk
with a limp.
My doctor says I may always have pain in
the groin area. And if the pain gets
worse, I might have to have the hip
replaclement , replaced.
Which needless to say I dont want to have.
The recovery was very painful, for almost
4 months.
Anyone have similar symptoms, and anything
that helped the pain without pain pills?
:(
