Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hello All, I am contemplating THR.. I have AVN in both hips and my left hip is symptomatic.. I have mild pain right now.. walk with a slight limp. I probably could wait to have surgery, but due to a lack of work ( WINTER ) now is a good time to take care of this.. Chances are with AVN, I'm going to need it anyways.. I would like to know what to expect as far as Post Op Pain? How bad is this going to hurt me? Is it a throbbing constant pain? My OS said he would do an Anterolateral approach to my hip. I have heard that some people say it feels better than before surgery, due to the amount of pain from Bone on Bone etc. I am not in that kind of pain.. I just have a constant dull ache when I walk, but have AVN, so like I said wish to avoid the pain that can come with it and perhaps move towards an THR.
