Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hiya guys Have finally decided to go private. Although I really can't afford it it's just not worth hanging about on the 6 month waiting list to find out at the end of it all that my hip had degenerated so much that I have to have a THR (in which case I'd have to wait about another 2 years coz I've got pins in my femur that'd have to come out first). I'm having it done by Treacy in Birmingham. Thing is, I'm from Glasgow, I feel because of the distance between us that I'm missing out on some vital info about preparing for the operation. I know I have to see my dentist first and I've tried to stop going out and drinking and having sly ciggies. But what else do I need to do? SHould I stop taking my pills? (Naproxen). Is there anything else I should really be doing but am not? Cheers Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hi Mo I had my second resurfacing done by Mr Treacy. A great choice. When is the op scheduled for?Which hospital will you be in? I received a little booklet from Mr Treacy's team with guidance on how to prepare and what to expect from / after the operation. I stopped all anti-inflamatories two weeks before. I also bought the 'Heal your Hips' book (one of the authors is Ms Huey, I think) and followed some of the simple muscle strengthening excercises in there. ine 04/2003, 03/2004 > Hiya guys > > Have finally decided to go private.
