2:08am, and I'm almost 24 hours post-op from my total hip replacement. I can walk, which is more than I could say during the last hip surgery recovery. It makes a huge difference. I actually don't mind using my walker. It makes things a lot easier, though I'm really having to work on my posture when I use it. Really, the only trouble I'm having is getting in and out of bed (our bed sits too high off the ground) and staying on top of the pain.

The surgery itself went really well, they said. Doc told me it could take up to 1.5 hours, and my husband said the surgeon was coming out to talk to him after 45 minutes. I spent about an hour in recovery. Only bump I had was that sometimes, when I come out of anesthesia, I panic because I don't know where I am. That happened this time, as well as me having a bad case of the shakes. They got my husband for me, and as soon as I saw him, I felt better. He was able to soothe the panic attack. When it was time for PT to get me up and walking to the bathroom, I initially struggled, but it was all in my head. Husband stood back and cheered me on the whole time. They wouldn't let me leave until they knew my bladder was working, so once I got that out of the way, I was able to use the walker to walk all the way across the recovery room and then back to my bed. By that time, they were sending hubs out with our stuff to pull the car around and helping me to get dressed. We arrived at 6am, surgery started at 7:30am, and we were home by noon.

My MIL had our kid overnight, and she kept him until about 5pm so that I could rest a little easier. A sweet friend brought us soup and salad from Olive Garden for dinner. I ate my fill and went back to bed.

I'm still sore, and because I'm taking narcotics for the pain, I can't take any of my sleep medicines so I'm having a lot of trouble truly sleeping. It's all half-dozes that last an hour at best. I'm hoping that I can actually fall asleep and stay asleep while our child is at school today. A 3-hour nap would do me a lot of good.

I have a brand new hip, and it has already surpassed my expectations. I can already tell that the pain I'm having is from the insicion, not the joint, which is where it was coming from before the surgery, and the soreness is actually in my thigh muscles, knee and ankle. Our running theory is that that particular pain is from them hammering the joint into my femur. And also from me getting too stiff if I lay down for too long.

It feels good not to have that joint pain radiating down my leg and into my back anymore. I can't wait for recovery to be over so I can see what I can now do pain-free.

Ball and socket joints:

Definition: A joint in which a ball moves within a socket so as to allow rotary motion in every direction within certain limits. 2. An articulation (such as the hip joint) in which the rounded head of one bone fits into a cup-like cavity of the other and admits movement in any direction.

Ball and socket joints such as the shoulders have infinite vectors of movement. This is a thought I’ve heard before from @John Welch, one of my favorite movement educators. Makes sense to me...

This presents us with the need to calibrate each position in a ROM with the other muscles that are part of maintaining and functioning in that position. Being willing to look at each degree of ROM and check muscle relationships to see if that position is fully supported is the sophisticated opportunity presented by NMR. How long will that take? That depends on how many of the muscles that the joint depends on are ‘on the map’ and ready for action…

ayo hip dysplasia hotties!!

If ur having pao surgery or whatever hip surgery you might be having, heres a tip

when i had my first one they told me to stop taking my birth control one month before my surgery date. All fair and good cuz birth control can cause blood clotting or something idk

BUT I discovered that this means my period came during my first fucking week of recovery. When, yknow I wasnt allowed to move one of my legs or sit without reclining or shower. That sucked a LOT.

SO I BRING A SOLUTION!!!

STOP TAKING BIRTH CONTROL A MONTH AND TWO ISH WEEKS BEFORE YOUR SURGERY

im having my second one in ~a month and two weeks and ill report back afterwards if this life hack works

cuz that shit also gave me a fucking yeast infection which sucked so bad frfr

Choosing the Best Hip Replacement Surgeon in Delhi/NCR: What You Need to Know

Hip replacement surgery is a life-altering procedure for individuals suffering from debilitating hip pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. This surgery has helped millions of people regain their independence and return to an active lifestyle. However, the success of a hip replacement largely depends on choosing the right surgeon and understanding the entire process—from the initial diagnosis to recovery. In this blog, we’ll explore what hip replacement surgery entails, who may need it, the different types of procedures available, and how to find the best hip replacement surgeon in Delhi/NCR.

What is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement surgery, also known as hip arthroplasty, involves replacing the damaged or worn-out parts of the hip joint with artificial components, typically made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. This procedure is most commonly performed on patients with severe arthritis, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, as well as those who have suffered significant injury to the hip joint.

The surgery aims to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance the overall function of the hip joint, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with greater ease.

Types of Hip Replacement Surgery

There are several types of hip replacement surgeries, each tailored to the patient’s specific condition and needs:

Total Hip Replacement (THR): In a total hip replacement, both the ball (femoral head) and the socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint are replaced with artificial implants. This is the most common type of hip replacement and is highly effective for patients with extensive joint damage.

Partial Hip Replacement (PHR): Also known as hemiarthroplasty, this procedure involves replacing only the ball of the hip joint. It is typically recommended for patients with a fractured femoral head but an otherwise healthy hip socket.

Hip Resurfacing: This procedure is less invasive than a total hip replacement and involves capping the femoral head with a metal prosthesis instead of removing it. Hip resurfacing is often an option for younger, more active patients with healthy bone structure.

Revision Hip Replacement: In cases where a previous hip replacement has failed or worn out over time, a revision hip replacement is performed. This involves replacing the old prosthesis with a new one.

Who Needs Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement surgery is generally recommended for individuals who have:

Severe Hip Pain: Persistent hip pain that interferes with daily activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, or sitting down, may indicate the need for surgery.

Limited Mobility: Difficulty moving the hip joint, even with the help of a cane or walker, can be a sign that the joint has deteriorated to the point where surgery is necessary.

Failed Conservative Treatments: When other treatments, such as physical therapy, medications, or injections, fail to provide relief, hip replacement surgery may be the next step.

Hip Deformity: Structural deformities in the hip joint that cause pain and limited function may require surgical intervention.

Hip Joint Damage: Extensive damage to the hip joint due to arthritis, injury, or avascular necrosis may necessitate a hip replacement.

Finding the Best Hip Replacement Surgeon in Delhi/NCR

Choosing the best hip replacement surgeon is crucial for ensuring a successful surgery and a smooth recovery. Here are some tips on how to find the right surgeon in Delhi/NCR:

Research and Referrals: Start by researching hip replacement surgeons in Delhi/NCR. Seek referrals from your primary care physician, orthopedic specialists, or friends and family who have undergone hip replacement surgery. Look for surgeons with a strong reputation for success in hip replacement procedures.

Check Credentials: Verify the surgeon’s qualifications, certifications, and experience. The best hip replacement surgeon in Delhi/NCR will have extensive experience performing hip replacements and will be board-certified in orthopedic surgery.

Consider Specialization: Some orthopedic surgeons specialize in joint replacement surgeries, including hips. It’s beneficial to choose a surgeon who has a dedicated focus on hip replacements, as they will have more expertise and a better understanding of the procedure.

Hospital Affiliation: The hospital where the surgery is performed plays a significant role in the success of the operation. Look for hospitals in Delhi/NCR that have state-of-the-art facilities, advanced technology, and a dedicated team for post-operative care. Top hospitals often have specialized joint replacement centers.

Patient Reviews and Testimonials: Reading patient reviews and testimonials can provide insights into the surgeon’s skill, bedside manner, and overall patient experience. Positive feedback from former patients is a strong indicator of the surgeon’s competence.

Consultation: Schedule consultations with the shortlisted surgeons to discuss your condition and treatment options. A good surgeon will take the time to explain the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes. They should also be open to answering all your questions and addressing any concerns you may have.

Second Opinion: If you have any doubts or want to explore other options, don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion. It’s important to feel confident and comfortable with the surgeon you choose for your hip replacement.

The Hip Replacement Procedure

Understanding what happens during hip replacement surgery can help alleviate some of the anxiety associated with the procedure. Here’s an overview:

Pre-Surgery Preparation: Before the surgery, your surgeon will conduct a thorough evaluation, including physical exams, imaging tests (like X-rays or MRI), and preoperative blood tests. You’ll also meet with an anesthesiologist to discuss anesthesia options, which may include general or regional anesthesia.

Surgery: On the day of the surgery, you’ll be given anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The surgeon will make an incision to access the hip joint, remove the damaged bone and cartilage, and replace them with the artificial implants. The incision is then closed, and the hip is bandaged.

Recovery: After surgery, you’ll spend a few days in the hospital under observation. Physical therapy will begin soon after the surgery to promote mobility and strengthen the hip. Full recovery can take several weeks to months, depending on your overall health and the type of hip replacement performed.

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

The recovery process after hip replacement surgery is crucial to achieving the best possible outcome. Here are some key aspects of post-operative care:

Pain Management: Your surgeon will prescribe pain medications to manage discomfort during the initial recovery phase. It’s important to take them as directed to manage pain effectively.

Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is essential for regaining strength, flexibility, and range of motion in your hip. A physical therapist will guide you through exercises designed to aid your recovery.

Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon are necessary to monitor your progress and address any concerns.

Lifestyle Modifications: Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding high-impact activities, and following your surgeon’s recommendations will help extend the life of your hip implant and improve your overall well-being.

Hip replacement surgery can dramatically improve your quality of life, especially if you’ve been suffering from chronic hip pain and limited mobility. Finding the best hip replacement surgeon in Delhi/NCR is crucial for ensuring a successful outcome. By following the tips outlined in this blog, you can make an informed decision and embark on your journey toward a pain-free, active life.

If you’re considering hip replacement surgery, don’t hesitate to consult with a qualified orthopedic surgeon to discuss your options and take the first step toward a healthier, more mobile future.

14 years ago on September 29, my orthopaedic doctor installed a birmingham hip in place of my right hip joint. thankful for modern medicine and the encouragement of my tumblr friends to get on with life after the surgery..

One of the reasons for this blog. People don’t want to hear me complaining everyday and even if I did, they don’t really understand. So I will complain here instead! My hips are killing me today. I think it’s time for a second opinion and get the surgery done.
