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

INCOMING FUNDRAISER MARATHON!

@lusterlazuli and I are going to be streaming all through next week to raise money for my upcoming hip surgery! The marathon is from September 8th to September 15th! (We will be continuing to fundraise after the marathon ends, though!)

SURGERY: For those unaware, I need hip surgery due to hip dysplasia, femoral anteversion, and labral tears. My hip surgery is on November 12! So our fundraising efforts will continue until Nov 11! We are fundraising for medical expenses and for living expenses while I'm out of work recovering!

INCENTIVES: We have already raised some money pre-marathon and hit a bunch of our incentives! OUR TOTAL AT TIME OF THIS POSTING IS ACTUALLY $565. Come by and help us get to the top! (P.S. We have a lot of stretch goal incentives not pictured for if we get past $4K! These may or may not include a souls-like playthrough!)

REDEEMS: Donate an amount on our redeems lists to make something interesting happen on stream! Note: best done while the corresponding streamer is live! For example, donating $15 while I'm live will make me spin the Wheel of Pain! There's a chance for me to have to eat a raw grape tomato. Or put on wet socks. Disgusting. I will scream. You should totally do it.

PRIZES: Our top donors will get special prizes, all hand-drawn by yours truly! If we reach the goal of $4K, our top donor will be the winner of a custom Live2D model!! We will determine prize winners NOT at the end of the marathon, but at the end of our whole fundraising effort, which will be November 11. Prizes are transferrable!

DONATE: We are currently taking donations through my Ko-fi! But once Tiltify's personal fundraiser tools are available on September 10th, we plan to switch over to that instead!

THANK YOU FOR READING! We can't wait to see you guys there!!

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..

Hey everyone!

Guess what? Ya girl finally got her hip surgery!

For those of you who have been around a while, you know how much I have struggled in the past to get the necessary treatment for my chronic pain. It took nine years to get my hip dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement fixed.

On Monday, January 16th, I had a hip arthroscopy to fix the damaged cartilage and a periacetabular osteotomy to reposition my hip. This was an intensive surgery and it's going to take me 6-9 months to fully recover.

Moving around is going to be difficult so I made an Amazon wishlist of items to make movement easier and recovery more comfortable. Please help if you can, even if it is just sharing this post!

Thank you to everyone who has offered me emotional and/or financial support in the past, for all the well wishes and shoulders to cry on. The past nine years has been so emotionally draining that it's a bit hard to believe I'm in recovery now. Fingers crossed this surgery gives me lasting results. 🙏🏻

I've had pain and mobility issues with my right hip since the beginning of November. I just got the results back from a recent MRI. They were looking for a labral tear in the cartilage, which they found, but also I apparently have a fracture through 50% of the connecting bone and a severe edema. I'm not exactly sure what it all means because I haven't had the follow up with my doctor yet. But it most likely means surgery.

Tips to Prepare for Labral Repair & Hip Impingement Surgery

Hey Guys!

I wanted to share my tips for preparing for labral repair and hip impingement correction surgery. If you've read some of my prior posts you may have seen that when the surgeon went into my hip he actually did not find a tear; my tissue was perfectly intact.

So even though I didn't get the labral repair, my prepping for surgery tips remain the same because that is the surgery I was preparing for. Also, as far as recovery, I'm still following the same protocol as someone who did get a labral repair because I still underwent a surgery and I still got the extra bone growth shaved down to address the hip impingement.

Okay so here are my Surgery Prep Tips:

Enjoy Life :) I decided to get my surgery before the start of summer because that worked best with my work schedule, but I was sad about having to miss out on many summer activities. I love the summer. So I did as many fun things as I wanted to do before the surgery so I wouldn't feel as sad about what I would be having to miss during recovery.

WORKOUT! Surgeons call this pre-hab. Strengthening the muscles surrounding your hips and legs as best you can will only help you during recovery. The muscle memory will still be there when you start physical therapy and start walking properly be there. During my first two weeks of PT, my PT asked if I was athletic because I was able to do the exercises better than she expected I guess lol

Eat Healthy. A few months prior to surgery I tried to kick my health stuff up a notch. I've already been trying to be more intentional about what I am eating over the past few years anyway, but 2-3 months prior to surgery I was trying to revv up my Vitamin C and Vitamin D. I drank green juices a few times a week, took a multivitamin each day, tried to eat a proper serving of vegetables each day, lowered my alcohol intake (probably a month before surgery), and tried to drink enough water each day to make sure my body was hydrated going into surgery.

Create a Peaceful Recovery Space. I knew I was going to be in my room majority of the day for a few months. So I decluttered my space and re-organized and/or added things that would be peaceful to look at (ex. my plants & candles)

Put Important Things within Reach. All of the things I would need, I tried my best to put within reach of my bed. I received a "grabber" in my hip kit from the hospital to help me grab things within reach since I wasn't able to bend or twist much.

Consider a Mini-fridge & Microwave in Room. I live in a 2-story apartment with the kitchen on a different floor than my bedroom so a mini-fridge in my room was essential. In there I had a brita water pitcher, fruits, and other things I wanted to snack on.

Consider a Removable Shower Head. I had got one, but didn't use it because I tried to install it the night before and I couldn't get the old shower head off. And then when I went to shower after surgery I was able to do so with help from my mom so I just let the removable shower head go, but install it if you can because it would be really helpful.

Ask Surgical Team about Hip Kit. So the social work team at the hospital handled ordering items to help me with recovery such as a shower chair and a raised toilet seat. They also told me that I would receive a Hip Kit from the hospital the day of surgery. This Hip Kit is VERY important because it includes items to help you reach for things and put on your clothes and shoes since you aren't supposed to bend much. BUT when I was done with surgery they were saying goobye and I was like "wait where is my hip kit?" They were looking at me like HIP KIT?!?! So apparently someone didn't communicate with the OT department who was responsible for putting the kit together and they had to put it together last minute because I wasn't leaving without one. If they don't provide one, you can order one online.

Stock up on Gatorade and Meal Prep. The gatorade has a lot of electrolytes to help w/ recovery (they even had me drink one the morning of surgery). I had my mom to cook for me, but even she got tired of cooking lol. It would have been nice if I cooked as much as I could and froze the meals to have them ready to go.

Get Ice Packs. I had a small ice pack, but needed to order a bigger one during my first week of surgery to cover my thigh and hip at the same time.

Have Things to Do. You may get REALLY BORED. I definitely did. So I made sure to have things ready to keep me busy. Books to read, shows/movies to watch, games to play, etc etc.

I hope this is helpful and if you have anything to include from your experience or have any questions feel free to comment 😊😊😊

I'm in so much pain tonight. I didn't have this much pain right after my surgery. My knee is throbbing. Its like I took all the pain from my hip and shifted it down one joint. Doc says its because my muscles in my leg are weak and the knee relies on muscle strength to work. Doesn't make it hurt any less. I just want relief and a good night's sleep.

Optimal Resting Positions After Hip Replacement Surgery

Recovering from hip replacement surgery requires careful attention to how you rest and move. Proper resting positions can significantly impact your healing process, reduce discomfort, and prevent complications. At Bayside Orthopaedics Cleveland, led by Dr. Sanjay Joshi, we prioritize your recovery by providing expert guidance and personalized care. Here’s how to rest optimally after hip surgery in Cleveland.

Why Proper Resting Positions Matter

After hip replacement surgery, your body needs time to heal. The right resting positions can:

Minimize strain on your new joint.

Prevent stiffness or swelling.

Reduce the risk of dislocation or injury. By following these guidelines, you can enhance your recovery experience.

Best Resting Positions After Hip Replacement Surgery

1. On Your Back with a Pillow Between Your Legs

Lying on your back is one of the safest positions post-surgery. Use a firm pillow between your legs to keep your hips aligned and prevent unnecessary pressure on your joint.

2. Elevate Your Upper Body Slightly

Use a wedge pillow or an adjustable bed to elevate your torso slightly. This position reduces swelling and improves circulation, aiding the healing process.

3. Side-Lying on the Non-Operative Side

If you prefer lying on your side, only lie on the non-operative side. Place a supportive pillow between your knees to maintain alignment and avoid stress on your hip.

Positions to Avoid

1. Crossing Your Legs

Crossing your legs while sitting or lying down can strain your hip joint, increasing the risk of dislocation.

2. Lying on Your Stomach

Avoid sleeping or resting on your stomach, as it can put undue pressure on your new hip and cause discomfort.

3. Deep Sitting or Low Chairs

Sitting in deep or low chairs can increase stress on your hip joint. Use firm, high-seated chairs with armrests for support.

Hey all, this is a hip surgery update💚

I'm still waiting for my next hip surgeries to be scheduled, the right side is finished and I'm still waiting for the team to schedule the labrum repair and periacetabular osteotomy for the left side. The goal is to get them done exactly a year apart from the right, so Dec 2024 and Jan 2025. And the surgeon is also wanting to remove the hardware from my right hip during the left labrum repair due to it causing some aggravation and pain. This is normal, and the hardware on the other side will probably be removed around summer 2025.

In other health-related news, my appeal for my first SSDI denial was also denied, ugh, but I've finally hired a lawyer who explained that at this stage it's like a 80% denial rate and to not take it seriously, which has been.... difficult. I've had a lot of problems emotionally handling this despite knowing that it's about the system being broken, but I do feel quite dehumanized every time this happens. I’m happy to have someone on my team working out the paperwork though, because fuck was that tedious and exhausting on top of everything else I’m needing to manage right now.

I was also recently released from the hospital for non-orthopedic reasons. I'm doing well but I'm trying to lay low while I ease back into PT and get my back and hip pain better managed since I’ve been out of care for that for a couple weeks now!

I send everyone my love, and thank you again for everyone who is tagging along with me for this bullshit fucking journey called chronic pain living 💚 (old pic from Jan 2024)
