Guest guest Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Yes, I had heaps of pain before my first surgeries, I was on morphine off and on for 5 years... I had AVN before I had my first surgeries.. As a result of a scuba diving accident. I went from a very fit young mother to a person almost requiring a wheelchair in under a year. Its a long time since my first ones were done, I am now on round 2 upwards. This is my order of events :- 1993 L hip, 1994 left shoulder, 1995 right shoulder 1996 right hip 1999 right knee You will feel so much better after its done. I say its almost instant pain relief. .. With the last hip, which was the same time as Barb, I didn't have any pain a dull ache I guess if I look back, and I don't even have that dull ache any more. My hip dislocated requiring the revisions. I haven't had a revision because of wear and tear. x -- Re: Newbie needing hip I thank you so much for responding to my post and I thank you for offering your help to me, I am calling Tues to see if I can set up an appointment I hope I can get one very soon I can hardly walk hurts so much,did you have a lot of pain before you got hip rep. and did it get better afterwards, thanks again ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
