turtle group again...

Hi Lari

was good to hear from you again. Now at 3 and a half month, I am feeling better

but I still have pain: I cannot get passed the 5 blocks limit walk and that is

with a cane ( I can walk about 3 blocks with no cane and even that depends on

days); I don't have too much pain at night but I often wake up with ache in the

hip and groin. The most sensitive is the groin and any stretch or movement

slightly more than what I can take will give pain in the groin. Me too I have

sometimes those scary thoughts about AVN (or infection depending on the days!)

but there is nothing to do at this time since it seems too early to know

anything.

I also have lots of " clunking/thump/move " in the hip.

Also I don't have a surgeon here yet to do follow up on me: I tried one who just

started to do resurf. in Vancouver (Canada) but he said he will not do follow up

on a procedure he did not do! so I feel a bit lost; I am trying another one but

we will see what he says.

I hope you are improving though.

Hi, Sunita,

So nice to re-connect with you. I'd posted to you several weeks

ago, but perhaps you missed it. Interesting to hear that you are

experiencing similar sensations to what I am. I wonder what the

story is, Sunita, because this scenario is wearing very thin on me.

If I felt a little better each day, I'd have faith, but I just don't

feel progress coming out of the hip joint. Everything else seems to

healing the way it should, but the pain is very intense at the joint

itself and behind the incision. I'm so much worse now than when I

went in. I see my doc on Monday, as I mentioned in my previous

message. Let's see what he says; probably won't be anything

earthshattering. It's probably time for another opinion, although he

did tell me he's discussed my case with his colleagues. Today, I

took my kids to the pool at the sports club we belong to. I took it

very, very easy, and it felt wonderful to be in water again. I did

not overdo it, and felt ok for awhile, but now it's starting to

hurt! I don't know what the magic formula is, but it's nice to hear

from you all the same. Keep in touch!
