Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Dear members, Thanks a lot for the information provided. I was about to go for THR then one Doctor in Dubai advised me there is an alternate to THR and I came to know about this group. I have done (265.01.2004) BHR on my right leg at Madras in India. Dr. Bose did the surgery, it lasted for about 3 hours. Dr Bose is a fantastic person, I did not feel any pain after the surgery. After 7 days I flied to my home in Jaipur, India. It is almost 5 months post surgery, I go for a walk every day for about 30 miniutes, yesterday I walked for more than an hour. Thanks god no pain at all. My wife tells me I limp while walking, But if I control my steps and walk slowly, limping is not visible. I don't know, prior to surgery I used to limp a lot, may be it has become a habit or style of my walking. Do any one of you have such expirience ?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hi Shama, Removing the limp is one of my big hurdles too............... Habits die hard and then there is the business that certain muscles have shortened and/or are just not functioning as intended from years of not doing it properly due to pain etc............... Do you have access to reasonable physio services or people with some idea on exercise training............??? I say this because while just walking will strengthen, concentration on specific muscles appears to help more.........and while there is a heap of exercises available on the net, I think most of us need someone with an eye to the problem to advise where to start with what muscles etc.............

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I have a slight limp too and I can get most of it to go away if I concentrate. However, I think my leg might be slightly longer after the operation which will help contribute to the limp. > Dear members, > Thanks a lot for the information provided. > I was about to go for THR then one Doctor in Dubai advised me there > is an alternate to THR and I came to know about this group. > I have done (265.01.2004) BHR on my right leg at Madras in India. > Dr. Bose did the surgery, it lasted for about 3 hours.
